An anticodon is a unit made up of three nucleotides that correspond to the three bases of the codon on the mRNA. Each tRNA contains a specific anticodon triplet sequence that can base-pair to one or more codons for an amino acid.
Also found in: Dictionary, Encyclopedia. anticodon. a triplet of nucleotides in transfer RNA that is complementary to the codon in messenger RNA that specifies the amino acid. Anticodon.
