Proteins — practice question

The genome of the bacterium Escherichia coli has been modified so that it can specify an amino acid that does not occur naturally. Every ATC DNA stop triplet on the DNA strand that is transcribed has been changed to ATT. The ATC triplet can then be added so that it codes for the new amino acid. A new tRNA can then be made to carry the new amino acid. What is the anticodon of this new tRNA?
