Describe the structural and sequence elements that are common to all tRNA molecules, addressing the function of each of the elements. What forces stabilize the tRNAs' structural features?
In the tertiary structure of tRNA, where is the anticodon region relative to the attachment site for the amino acid? Are these located adjacent to each other?
Ornithine is structurally similar to lysine except ornithine’s side chain is one methylene group shorter than that of lysine. Attempts to chemically synthesize and isolate ornithinyl-tRNA proved unsuccessful. Propose a mechanistic explanation. (Hint: Six-membered rings are more stable than sevenmembered rings.)
A tRNA has an anticodon sequence 3′–GGU–5′. What amino acid does it carry?
The charging of a tRNA with an amino acid can be represented by the following equation:amino acid + tRNA + ATP → aminoacyl-tRNA + AMP + PPI where PPI is pyrophosphate (see figure 3–40). in the aminoacyl-tRNA, the amino acid and tRNA are linked with a high-energy covalent bond; a large portion of the energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP is thus stored in this bond and is available to drive peptide bond formation at the later stages of protein synthesis. the free-energy change of the charging reaction shown in the equation is close to zero and therefore would not be expected to favor attachment of the amino acid to tRNA. Can you suggest a further step that could drive the reaction to completion?
What is the significance (or function) of tRNA in protein synthesis? In other words, explain why tRNA is so important. How many different tRNA’s are there?
If a tRNA has an anticodon sequence 5'-CAU-3', What would be an amino acid carried by that tRNA? Phe, Val, His, or Met?

At least three types of RNA are required for protein synthesis. Compare and contrast mRNA, FRNA, and tRNA by moving the descriptions of their structure and function to the appropriate categories. Some phrases may describe all three types of RNA.
