Question
Chapter 30, Problem 14P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Based on the following options the most suitable account of peptidyl transfer reaction and its reason should be determined.
(a) The peptidyl-tRNA located within the A site, or
(b) To get the peptidyl chain the aminoacyl-tRNA is moved towards the P site.
Concept Introduction:
Translation is the procedure through which a protein is synthesized from the info confined in a molecule of mRNA or messenger RNA. Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome happens in 3 stages: initiation, elongation, and termination.
