Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The end of tRNA to which an amino acid is bonded is to be identified. From where the energy come from to form tRNA-amino acid bond is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids are defined as the organic compounds which contain amine $\left(-\text{N}{\text{H}}_2\right)$ and carboxyl $\left(-\text{C}\text{O}\text{O}\text{H}\right)$ functional groups, and a non polar side chain. Amino acids are biologically important organic molecules. Some of the amino acids are glycine, valine, alanine, and many more.

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is serves as a link between the amino acids sequence of proteins and mRNA. It specifies which sequence of the genetic code corresponds to which amino acid.
