A Two-Step Chemical Mechanism for Ribosome-Catalyzed Peptide Bond Formation

The chemical step of protein synthesis, peptide bond formation, is catalyzed by the large subunit of the ribosome. Crystal structures have demonstrated that the active site for peptide bond formation is composed entirely of RNA(1). Recent work has focused on how an RNA active site is able to catalyz...
