Peptide bond formation effectively transfers the peptide from the tRNA in the __________ to tRNA in the __________.
A) P-site; E-site
B) E-site; A-site
C) E-site; P-site
D) P-site; A-site
E) A-site; P-site

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptide bond formation occurs in the P-site of the ribosome, where the peptidyl-tRNA is located. The peptide is then transferred to the aminoacyl-tRNA in the A-site, which becomes the new peptidyl-tRNA. Therefore, the correct answer is D, as it describes the transfer from the P-site to the A-site.
