Title: How is a tRNA able to recognize its proper mRNA codon? Post by: mrzbrooks on Jan 4, 2022 How is a tRNA able to recognize its proper mRNA codon?
▸ The amino acid on the tRNA recognizes the mRNA codon through hydrogen and ionic bonding. ▸ Appropriate shape of the tRNA allows it to fit onto the extended mRNA strand. ▸ Complementary hydrogen bonding between tRNA and mRNA promote binding. ▸ Ionic bonds between the tRNA and the active site of the ribosomal subunits promote binding to the mRNA. ▸ Hydrogen bonding between the ribosomal subunits and the mRNA creates the proper active site conformation to allow tRNA binding.
