Organic Chemistry II
Peptidyl transferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the ribosome's function, facilitating the linking of the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another, resulting in a growing polypeptide chain. It is a fundamental component of translation, helping to assemble proteins based on the information encoded in messenger RNA (mRNA).
