Transfer RNA.........?

tRNA is a molecule folded upon itself. On one end it binds to an amino acid while on the other it has anti-codon that is complementary to the codon on the messenger RNA. Thus, when the anti-codon complements with the codon on the mRNA, the tRNA carries along the amino acid to add to the polypeptide.
