A proton wire to couple aminoacyl-tRNA accommodation and peptide bond formation on the ribosome

During peptide bond formation on the ribosome the α-amine of an aminoacyl-tRNA attacks the ester carbonyl carbon of a peptidyl-tRNA to yield a peptide lengthened by one amino acid. Although the ribosome's contribution to catalysis is predominantly entropic, the lack of high-resolution structura...
