Document Summary
Assembled in cytosol when binding to mrna (small to mrna then larger completes ribosome) A site: aminoacyl-trna arrives with proper amino acids. Met is the first aa and is the only one that goes straight to the p site. Mrna is recruited and large subunit then completes the ribosome. On the most recent trna in the p site. An aminoacyl trna binds to the a site, escorts by ef-tu bound to gtp. A peptide bond is formed between the carboxyl group of met at the p site and the amino group of the newly arrived amino acid at the a site. A site empty, and elongation factors with a trna goes to the a site and releases, peptidyl transferase binds carboxyl group of aa 1 with amino acid aa 2. trna discharges and its empty. Translation is terminated when stop codon arrives at the ______ site. Stop codon reached; not trna with that anticodon.
