Term Name tRNA aminoacylation
Term Accession GO:0043039
Aspect biological_process
Synonyms (3) aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthetic process, tRNA charging
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways by which the various amino acids become bonded to their corresponding tRNAs. The most common route for synthesis of aminoacyl tRNA is by the formation of an ester bond between the 3'-hydroxyl group of the most 3' adenosine of the tRNA, usually catalyzed by the cognate aminoacyl-tRNA ligase. A given aminoacyl-tRNA ligase aminoacylates all species of an isoaccepting group of tRNA molecules.
