tRNA is activated by its amino acid for protein synthesis.The process of tRNA activation includes binding of each tRNA molecule to a specific amino acid with the help of tRNA activating enzyme.It is a two step process.Firstly,tRNA activating enzyme binds ATP to the specific amino acid and form a complex known as an amino acid- AMP complex.Is is formed with high energy bond.Secondly,that acid is attached to tRNA and in all this process AMP is released.tRNA molecule left behind is highly charged as a result of high energy bond formed with the help of ATP.This energied tRNA molecule is now available to use for protein synthesis.
