At the acceptor end, amino acid are attached via the <scene name='43/433638/Threeprime/3'>2'-OH or 3'-OH group of the last nucleotide in the acceptor stem</scene>. At the opposite end of the molecule is the anticodon, which pairs with its complementary codon on the messenger RNA.

The two arms of the "L" <scene name='43/433638/Fullview_cartoon/20'> (cartoon)</scene> are formed by the <scene name='43/433638/Stemstacking/3'>stacking of the acceptor and TΨC-stem</scene> on one side, and of the anticodon and D-stem on the other side. <scene name='43/433638/Kissing/4'>Tertiary interactions between the TΨC- and D-loop</scene> form the corner of the L-shape and stabilize the structure. Non-Watson-Crick hydrogen bonding is important in this core (visualize interactively at [http://jmol.x3dna.org/ DSSR Jmol web interface)]).
