Briefly describe the places where tRNA would be found in a ribosome

What will be an ideal response?


A ribosome has three locations where tRNAs can be found, the E, P, and A sites. The E site is where
an uncharged tRNA will leave the ribosome. The P site is where a tRNA with an attached polypeptide
chain is located after translocation and before peptide bond formation. The A site is where a new,
charged tRNA will first bind to the translation assembly.
