Rated "high" as high school/SAT biology content, important to translation (biology). The article needs references/sources. - tameeria 01:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

what does the primary structure look like? Pelirojopajaro 05:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

The article does describe it, specific sequences are not given since there are numerous tRNA sequences. In general (in the article) it is a small RNA chain (73-93 nucleotides), for more details look at the features section. If you check out the link Sprinzl tRNA compilation, you can get a list of 1000s of tRNAs, Hichris 16:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

the term "degenerate" is not used correctly. Active contributor 02:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean, just looking quickly at the history it looked fine. In this context, degenerate means "having more than one codon representing an amino acid; also being such a codon" Hichris 13:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me or does that merge suggestion seem quite weird? Sakkura 22:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm guessing someone saw a stub article and thought that integrating it into the tRNA entry would "fix the stub"....not realizing the enormity of the situation. -- MarcoTolo 11:34, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Psyched-out Biology Groupie Seeks Help

I am a non-biologist, but have some crude idea of the function of transfer RNA, from reading popular accounts of protein biosynthesis. The subject is correctly marked as of high importance, yet at present I can understand the first sentence of the article and practically nothing else. It's enough to make me turn to Creationism - I can understand that. Could the technicalities please be postponed, and the article given a proper introduction, with suitable links? A suitably expanded version of the 'History' section should probably come soon after the Introduction: at any rate, it should appear before the specialist material.
