The anticodon is the three-nucleotide sequence in a transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule that is complementary to a specific codon in messenger RNA (mRNA), and it is read in the 5' to 3' direction.

For the codon 5'-agu-3', the corresponding anticodon in the tRNA molecule would be 3'-ucu-5'. The last two nucleotides in the anticodon (5' to 3') are "cu".
