an·ti·co·don A0337300 (ăn′tē-kō′dŏn, ăn′tī-)n. A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides in transfer RNA that binds to a corresponding codon in messenger RNA and designates a specific amino acid during protein synthesis.anticodon (ˌæntɪˈkəʊdɒn) na three-base unit of genetic code contained in transfer RNA that corresponds to a codon region on messenger RNA, involved in genetic translationan•ti•co•don (ˌæn tiˈkoʊ dɒn, ˌæn taɪ-) n. a set of three nucleotide bases at the loop end of tRNA that forms base pairs with the codon of messenger RNA.

anticodon[¦an·tē¦kō‚dän] (genetics) A three-nucleotide sequence in transfer RNA that complements the codon in messenger RNA. Anticodon part of the transfer ribonucleic acid or tRNA (in Russian, transport RNA or t-RNA), consisting of three unpaired (free bond) nucleotides. This section is specifically paired with the codon of messenger RNA or mRNA (in Russian, information RNA or i-RNA), which assures the proper arrangement of each amino acid during protein synthesis. anticodonenUK
anticodon [an″te-, an″ti-ko´don] a triplet of nucleotides in transfer RNA that is complementary to the codon in messenger RNA that specifies the amino acid. Anticodon. The three nucleotides (shaded) on a transfer RNA bind to a complementary messenger RNA codon. From Dorland's, 2000. an·ti·co·don (an'tē-kō'don), The trinucleotide sequence complementary to a codon found in one loop of a tRNA molecule; for example, if a codon is A-G-C, its anticodon is U (or T)-C-G. The complementarity principle arises from Watson-Crick base-pairing, in which A is complementary to U (or T) and G is complementary to C. Sometimes called "nodoc."anticodon (ăn′tē-kō′dŏn, ăn′tī-)n.
