Transfer RNA complex. Computer model showing the structure of a tight-binding glutamine tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) molecule bound to a glutamine aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) molecule. aaRS attaches the correct amino acid onto the corresponding tRNA strand during protein synthesis - in this case glutamine.
