Once peptide bond formation occurs, translocation moves the ribosome one codon further along the mRNA. After translocation, what is the configuration of tRNAs and polypeptide on the ribosome?

What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The discharged tRNA moves from the P site to the E site, and the peptidyl-tRNA in the A site moves to the P site. The A site is now available for a new aminoacyl-tRNA to enter, and the A site is positioned over the next codon.
