Nirenberg and Leder developed a technique for using ribosome-bound tRNAs to provide additional information about the genetic code.
They found that a very short sequence of mRNA , even one consisting of a single codon, would bind to a ribosome. The codon on the short mRNA would then base pair with the matching anti-codon on a transfer RNA that carried the amino acids specified by the codon.
