Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptide bond formation during protein synthesis is catalyzed by the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) component of the ribosome, a mechanism that is conserved across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This process is a fundamental aspect of the ribosome's function as a ribozyme in the translation of mRNA into proteins.
