According to the hybrid state model, if we consider the hybrid state of a tRNA such that its base is bound to the P site of 30S subunit, where will its head be bound?(a) A site of 50S(b) P site of 50S(c) E site of 50S(d) UnboundI got this question during an interview.Enquiry is from Elongation and Termination in chapter Gene Expression : Translation of Cytogenetics

Answer»

Right answer is (c) E site of 50S

The best explanation: According to hybrid model 1^st the head part SHIFTS to the NEXT site in the cycle then the foot part of tRNA bound to 30S SUBUNIT shifts ALONG with the input of energy. Thus, according to our question the head should be at E site.
