The amino acids carried by these tRNA molecules are ... emerging from the top of the ribosome (Figure 8). Eventually, after elongation has proceeded for some time, the ribosome comes to a stop ...

Next, peptide bonds between the now-adjacent first and second amino acids are formed through a ... Although different elongation, initiation, and termination factors are used, the genetic code ...

The large subunit of the ribosome contains the peptidyl transferase center (PTC), which catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between the amino acids, leading to the elongation of the protein chain ...
