A tRNA consists of a single 80 nucleotide long RNA chain.
Like the proteins, tRNA also folds. Due to the existence of the
complementary counterparts of the nucleotide bases they carry
(the letters on the tRNA) which can form hydrogen bonds with
other letters, this single chain can fold over itself and build a
21
three-dimensional molecule that looks like a cloverleaf. Due
to this special shape, it can carefully enter into the ribosome
with nanometric (one nanometer is one millionth of a millime-
ter) precision. In all tRNAs, amino acids attach to the 3’ end of
the cloverleaf model. There is a unique anti-codon triplet for
each tRNA type. For this complex system to function properly,
everything needs to be fully intact. For instance, if everything
was complete except for a single tRNA matching a certain
amino acid, a protein would still be produced, but the end
product would be completely useless. This clearly proves that
God creates life as a whole unit.
