Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of tRNA in protein synthesis: tRNA molecules are responsible for bringing amino acids to the ribosome during translation.

Learn about the structure of tRNA: Each tRNA has an anticodon region that pairs with the mRNA codon and an acceptor stem where the amino acid is attached.

Identify the enzyme responsible for attaching amino acids to tRNA: This process is known as 'charging' the tRNA, and the enzyme involved is aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

Explore the specificity of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases: Each aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is specific to one amino acid and its corresponding tRNA, ensuring accurate translation.

Review the options given in the problem: Recognize that 'aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases' is the correct term for the enzyme that attaches amino acids to tRNA, as opposed to the other incorrect options listed.
