Where do anticodon exist?
During protein synthesis, where DNA is “read” to produce a given protein (which is just a strand of amino acids), a codon is a three nucleotide sequence on mRNA that codes for a particular amino acid. The anticodon is the portion of tRNA (the molecule that carries the amino acid) that complements the codon on the mRNA, allowing the appropriate amino acid to be placed at a given position in the protein.
