Cloverleaf model for tRNA

The D loop contains 8-12 unpaired bases and 2-3 dihydrouricil residues. The Anticodon loop of 7 unpaired bases, Contains the three anticodon bases. The anticodon is flanked on its 5’ side by U, and on 3’ side by an alkylated purine. The TψC loop -7 unpaired bases 5’ TψCG 3’ present. Involved in binding to the ribosome ‘A’ site
