The aminoacylation reaction, which is catalysed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs), fuses each amino acid to its cognate tRNA. This reaction requires amino acid activation through condensation of ...

A groundbreaking study has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the absence of TRMT10A leads to a reduction in ...

New findings indicate that transfer RNA (tRNA) has another function in addition to its long-established role in gene expression. tRNA also helps control apoptosis, or programmed cell death, according ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...
