An anticodon is a sequence of 3 nucleotides which form a unit of genetic code in a transferred RNA molecule and corresponds to a complementary codon in a messenger RNA.

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence complementary to that of a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence. An anticodon is found at one end of a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule.
