Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During translation, translocation refers to the movement of the ribosome along the mRNA molecule, shifting the peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site and the empty tRNA from the P-site to the E-site. This movement allows for the next codon to be exposed in the A-site for the next tRNA to bind and continue the elongation of the polypeptide chain.
