Which of the following enzymes is a component of the large ribosomal subunit and catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between an amino acid attached to a peptidyl-tRNA and an amino acid from an aminoacyl-tRNA?
A) Reverse transcriptase
B) DNA polymerase
C) Peptidyl transferase
D) DNA ligase
E) β-galactosidase

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptidyl transferase is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis in the ribosome. It is a component of the large ribosomal subunit and plays a crucial role in the elongation phase of translation. Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that converts RNA into DNA, DNA polymerase is an enzyme that catalyzes DNA synthesis, DNA ligase is an enzyme that seals gaps in DNA strands, and β-galactosidase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes lactose. None of these enzymes are involved in peptide bond formation.
