anticodon
Transfer RNA sequence
An anticodon is a sequence of three nucleotides in transfer RNA that pairs with a complementary codon on messenger RNA during protein synthesis.
This matching ensures the correct amino acid is added to the growing protein chain: The anticodon UAC pairs with the codon AUG.
