The Charging of TRNAs is Carried Out by a Set

Question

The charging of tRNAs is carried out by a set of enzymes called ________ synthetases.
A) ribozymes
B) aminoacyl-tRNA
C) peptidyl
D) proteases
E) polymerases

Accepted Answer

The process of charging tRNAs involves attaching specific amino acids to the 3' end of each tRNA molecule, a process that is carried out by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. This process is essential for the proper functioning of the genetic code, as it ensures that each amino acid is correctly matched with the appropriate tRNA and then incorporated into the growing protein chain during translation.
