Question

The peptide bond synthesis in prokaryotic translation is catalyzed by ____________.

a) Ribosomal RNA
b) Transfer RNA
c) Messenger RNA
d) Peptidyl transferase

Answer 1

Peptidyl transferase catalyzes the peptide bond synthesis in prokaryotic translation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The peptide bond synthesis in prokaryotic translation is catalyzed by peptidyl transferase. Peptidyl transferase is a ribozyme component of the ribosome itself and it links the incoming amino acid to a growing chain in a condensation reaction.
