Place the following steps in the elongation phase of translation in their proper order.
A. Peptide bond formation occurs.
B. GTP is hydrolyzed, and the ribosome moves one codon in the 3 ^' direction.
C. GTP is hydrolyzed, and EF-Tu•GDP is released.
D. tRNA is released from the E site.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct sequence for the elongation phase of translation involves the binding of a tRNA to the A site facilitated by EF-Tu and GTP (C), followed by peptide bond formation (A), then the ribosome translocates which involves GTP hydrolysis (B), and finally, the now uncharged tRNA is released from the E site (D).
