Once a peptide bond has been formed between the amino acid attached to the tRNA in the P site and the amino acid associated with the tRNA in the A site, what process occurs next?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Once the peptide bond has been formed, the ribosome undergoes a process called translocation, where the tRNA in the A site moves to the P site while the tRNA in the P site moves to the E site and is released. This movement allows the next codon of mRNA to be read and the process of elongation to continue. The codon-anticodon hydrogen bonds are not broken until the tRNA reaches the E site and is fully released from the ribosome.
