1. anticodon
   Type: Term Pronunciation: an′tē-kō′don Definitions: 1. The trinucleotide sequence complementary to a codon found in one loop of a tRNA molecule; 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 w...

8. anticodon
   (an;tu1-ko;don) A base triplet provided by three nucleotides within a loop of transfer RNA that is complementary in its base-pairing properties to a triplet(the codon) in mRNA. The matching of codon to anticodon provides the mechanism for translating the genetic code into a specific sequence of amino acids.
