Document Summary

Peptide bond synthesis involves the transfer of the peptide or fmet from the p. The elongating ribosome essentially carries out the same step, peptide bond synthesis, over and over until a termination codon is reached. Several sites exist for binding aminoacyl trnas on each ribosome. For the purposes of this book, however, only two are of importance. The a (acceptor) site is where the incoming aminoacyl trna is bound to the ribosome. The initial step of decoding by codon anticodon base pairing occurs here. The p (peptidyl) site is where the peptidyl (or initiator fmet ) trna is site trna onto the free amino group of the a site aminoacyl trna. Note how this means that the protein is synthesized in the amino to the carboxyl direction (n c). After the peptide bond is formed, the ribosome translocates, moving the new peptidyl trna from use gtp to deliver the new aminoacyl trna to the ribosomal a site.
