Each tRNA decodes the sequence of a specific mRNA codon and accurately extends the nascent polypeptide chain using the amino acid carried at its 3ʹ end (Loveland et al, 2020; Giegé and Eriani, 2023).

Nucleotides in the mRNA work together to dictate the order of the amino acids. The tRNA carries the amino acids, while the rRNA molecules forming the ribosome assemble them into the final protein.

tRNA therapy could potentially help to counteract the effects of these mutations. The focus of current research is designing “suppressor” tRNAs that can bypass these premature stop signals and ...

US-based biotechnology company Alltrna is developing transfer RNA (tRNA)-based therapies that aim to offer a broad solution for thousands of rare genetic diseases by targeting common mutations rather ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription and translation processes.

Compared to the smallest mRNA molecule, which is 300 nucleotides long, the largest transfer RNAs (tRNA) is less than a third of the size at 76 nucleotides. Scientists at Alltrna are harnessing the ...
