GO:0006432:   phenylalanyl-tRNA aminoacylation
The process of coupling phenylalanine to phenylalanyl-tRNA, catalyzed by phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase. The phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase is a class-II synthetase. However, unlike other class II enzymes, The activated amino acid is transferred to the 2"-OH group of a phenylalanine-accepting tRNA. The 2"-O-aminoacyl-tRNA will ultimately migrate to the 3" position via transesterification.
