Each successive tRNA leaves behind an amino acid that links in sequence. The resulting chain of amino acids emerges from the top of the ribosome.
How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

Protein Makeover with Custom Amino Acids
the researchers identified 12 highly active tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs in Escherichia coli that can add canonical and noncanonical amino acids. Then, Badran’s team used iterative rounds of genetic ...
