Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy required for the formation of peptide bonds during the elongation phase of protein synthesis primarily comes from GTP (guanosine triphosphate). GTP provides the necessary energy for the ribosome to move along the mRNA and for the translocation of tRNA from the A site to the P site.
