In the context of organic chemistry, what is the primary function of tRNA (transfer RNA)?
A
tRNA is responsible for transcribing DNA into mRNA.
B
tRNA provides the energy required for protein folding.
C
tRNA catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids.
D
tRNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis.
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of tRNA in the process of protein synthesis. tRNA is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein.
Recognize that tRNA does not transcribe DNA into mRNA. This is the role of mRNA, which carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosome.
Acknowledge that tRNA does not provide energy for protein folding. Protein folding is a process that occurs after the protein is synthesized and involves the protein achieving its functional three-dimensional structure.
Clarify that tRNA does not catalyze the formation of peptide bonds. This function is performed by the ribosome, specifically the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) component, which acts as a ribozyme.
Identify the primary function of tRNA: it carries specific amino acids to the ribosome, where they are added to the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis, according to the sequence specified by the mRNA.
