Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of tRNA: Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. It has a cloverleaf structure with several distinct regions.

Identify the regions of tRNA: The tRNA molecule consists of the acceptor stem, D loop, anticodon loop, and variable loop, among others.

Focus on the acceptor stem: The acceptor stem is located at the 3' end of the tRNA molecule. It is a crucial region where amino acids are attached.

Recognize the function of the acceptor stem: The acceptor stem has a sequence of nucleotides that ends with a CCA sequence at the 3' end. This sequence is the site where amino acids are covalently bonded to the tRNA.

Conclude the binding site: The acceptor stem is responsible for binding amino acids, allowing the tRNA to carry them to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
