aminoacylation

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
aminoacylation
a two stage process whereby amino acids are 'activated' in order to be incorporated into proteins; energy in the form of ATP is required and one of a family of 20 aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, one specific for each amino acid, links the carboxyl group of the amino acid to either the 2′- or 3′-hydroxyl group of the ribose unit at the 3′-end of tRNA.
