Video transcript

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question. Together in eukaryotes which of the falling ribosomes all sub units is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide linkage between two amino acids during translation. So let's recall what we've learned about what happens during translation and what we've learned about rob is almost sub units to figure out which of the following is responsible for that catalyzing of the formation of peptide linkages between two amino acids during translation. So we know that we have a large sub unit of ribosomes that we call kept. It'll transfer AIDS. And this peptide transfer is is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide linkages between those two amino acids and it is present at the E. And a site of ribosomes during translation. And so the large subunit of ribosomes in eukaryotes is the 60 S. Ribs. Um sub unit. That is the one that is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide linkage between two amino acids during translation. So that means that answer. Choice D. Is the correct answer. Because the large subunit of ribosomes in eukaryotes is that S. Which is also known as pep title transfer raise. Which is responsible for catalyzing the formation of peptide linkage between two amino acids that is present at the P. And a sites of ribosomes during translation. So answer choice D. Is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye

In this chapter, we focused on the translation of mRNA into proteins as well as on protein structure and function. Along the way, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions: How do we know, based on studies of Neurospora nutritional mutations, that one gene specifies one enzyme?
