13Hydrogen bonding also plays a vital role in determining the accuracy of protein synthesis (aka
the process of [blank_start]translation[blank_end])
During the [blank_start]translation[blank_end], a series codons – triplets of the nucleic acid bases that make up an
mRNA strand – are matched to [blank_start]anticodons[blank_end] on [blank_start]tRNA[blank_end] molecules, in a process mediated by the
[blank_start]ribosome[blank_end]
If the [blank_start]anticodon[blank_end] of an incoming [blank_start]tRNA[blank_end] has a sequence complementary to the [blank_start]codon[blank_end] currently
being “read” by the [blank_start]ribosome[blank_end], strong enough [blank_start]hydrogen[blank_end] bonding exist between the codon and
anticondon for the two to remain stably associated for long enough for a biochemical reaction carried by the [blank_start]tRNA[blank_end] to the end of the growing polypeptide- Atranslation
