transfer RNA. A class of small RNA's, each containing about 80 nucleotides. A tRNA molecules has two functional sites. At one of these sites, an activating enzyme adds a specific amino acid. The other functional site carries the anticodon specific for that amino acid. Each type of tRNA transfers one particular amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain as specified by the nucleotide sequence of the messenger RNA being translated. 4, record 1, English, - transfer%20RNA
