| The cellular synthesis of an aminoacyl-tRNA and its role in protein synthesis. An uncharged tRNA and the corresponding amino acid are first selected from the cellular pools of similar molecules by the appropriate AARS (see text for details). After synthesis and release from the AARS the aminoacyl-tRNA is delivered to the ribosome, where its anticodon can then interact with the corresponding codon in mRNA (reviewed in Al-Karadaghi et al., 2000). The example shown illustrates how this leads to the translation of the codon UGG as tryptophan during the elongation phase of protein synthesis.
