Round 1: Tossup 13

The Class I of an aaRS enzyme that conducts a reaction in which this molecule is the nucleophile contains a Rossmann fold domain; that reaction is also known as the “charging” of this molecule. (15[1])A conserved sequence containing pseudouridine comprises the T psi C arm (15[1])of these molecules. Inosine (-5[1])is one compound that participates in (*) wobble pairing in this molecule. (10[1]-5[2])During one process, this molecule enters the A site and exits uncharged from (-5[1])the E site. This cloverleaf-shaped molecule carries a three base-pair sequence known as an anticodon. For 10 points, name this (10[1])form of RNA that carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation, unlike mRNA. ■END■ (10[2]0[2])
