Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Before binding to the ribosome and incorporating into a growing polypeptide chain, tRNA must first be charged with an amino acid by an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase enzyme. The correct amino acid is attached to the corresponding tRNA molecule through the 3’ end of the tRNA. This process is driven by the hydrolysis of ATP, and ensures that each tRNA molecule has the appropriate amino acid to incorporate into the protein being synthesized.
