The acceptor site and the anticodon arm.

A tRNA molecule containing its corresponding amino acid attached to its acceptor site at the 3 end is called aminoacyl-tRNA. The enzymes responsible for adding the appropriate amino acid to each tRNA are called aminoacyl–tRNA synthetases. There are at least 20 of these enzymes, each of which is specific for a particular amino acid and tRNA.
