tRNA is a stable, folded kind of RNA present in all living cells. The secondary structure of most tRNA<ref>PMID:4601792</ref><ref>PMID:4612535</ref> is composed of four helical stems (shown in cyan, blue, red and yellow) arranged in a cloverleaf structure ) and an central four-way junction. <scene name='43/433638/Fullview_cartoon/9'>In three dimensions</scene>, tRNA | tRNA is a stable, folded kind of RNA present in all living cells.
