The first stage of translation is the binding of tRNA molecules to their appropriate amino acids, called tRNA charging. Each tRNA is specific for a particular amino acid. All tRNAs have the sequence CCA at the 3' end, and the carboxyl group (COO-) of the amino acid is attached to the adenine nucleotide at the 3' end of the tRNA (Figure 15.13).
