Summary Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first prot

Protein name Tryptophan--tRNA ligase, mitochondrial (EC 6.1.1.2) ((Mt)TrpRS) (Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase) (TrpRS)
Protein function Catalyzes the attachment of tryptophan to tRNA(Trp) in a two-step reaction: tryptophan is first activated by ATP to form Trp-AMP and then transferred to the acceptor end of tRNA(Trp).
