Binding sites for tRNA are located in:
A)the large ribosomal subunit.
B)the small ribosomal subunit.
C)both ribosomal subunits.
D)neither ribosomal subunit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binding sites for tRNA are located in both the large and small ribosomal subunits. The large ribosomal subunit has three binding sites for tRNA (A, P, and E sites) while the small ribosomal subunit has one binding site for tRNA (the initiator tRNA binds here during translation initiation). Together, the two ribosomal subunits work together to coordinate the binding of mRNA and tRNA during protein synthesis.
