Welcome back. Let's look at our next question. It says which of the following enzymes is responsible for the formation of peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids during translation. When we look at our answer choices, we notice they're all transfer aces which makes sense because transfer cases catalyze the transfer of functional groups onto another molecule. So in this case we've got a pretty big clue in our name. We're looking for Choice. B pep title transfer is because it transfers an amino acid onto a growing peptide chain. Well, just look briefly at our other answer choices. Twice A Glick Oziel transferees that's involved in the synthesis of glycogen chains and musicians helping to build them up. So it's not correct. So I see histone acetyl transfer raise transfers acetyl groups um from acetyl coa A on the specific lysine residues in his stones. This actually causes the structure of the crow mountain to become dispersed when this happens. Um but not an answer choice. And finally, choice di methyl transfer raise these transfer methyl groups obviously and an important function in terms of D. N. A. Is the methylation of D. N. A. Which has many important roles but not what we're looking for here. So not our answer choice. So again, which of the following enzymes responsible for the formation of peptide bonds between the adjacent amino acids. And that's choice. B pep title transfer is in the next video
