Mention the role of ribosomes in peptide-bond formation. How does ATP facilitate it? |
Answer» There are two sites in the large subunit of the ribosome, for subsequent amino acids to bind to and thus, be close enough to each other for the formation of a peptide bond. The ribosome also acts as a catalyst for the formation of peptide bond. Amino acids become activated by binding with their aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase in the presence of ATP. | |
