Enzyme peptidyl transferase can be located in:

Question

Enzyme peptidyl transferase can be located in: (A) Larger subunit of ribosome (B) mRNA catalyses peptide bond formation (C) Central part of transfer RNA (D) Smaller subunit of ribosome

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Peptide bond formation is catalysed by enzyme peptidyl transferase which is a ribozyme. High molecular weight rRNA, 23S in prokaryotes and 28S in eukaryotes function as a ribozyme. These rRNAs are located in a larger subunit of the ribosome.
