An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence complementary to that of

a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. An

anticodon is found at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule.
During protein synthesis, each time an amino acid is added to the
growing protein, a tRNA forms base pairs with its complementary
sequence on the mRNA molecule, ensuring that the appropriate
amino acid is inserted into the protein.

Anticodons are sequences of nucleotides that are complementary to codons.

They are found in tRNAs, and allow the tRNAs to bring the correct amino acid in
line with an mRNA during protein production.

During protein production, amino acids are bound together into a string, much

like beads on a necklace. It’s important that the correct amino acids be used in
the correct places, because amino acids have different properties. Putting the
wrong one in a spot can render a protein useless, or even dangerous to the cell.
