Enzyme for protein synthesis: the role of peptidyl-transferase

Protein synthesis is one of the cell’s most intensive and finely regulated metabolic processes. At the heart of this machinery lies the peptidyl-transferase enzyme, the ribosome’s catalytic center responsible for creating the peptide bond that links amino acids and builds the polypeptide chain. In this article, we review what happens during translation, why this enzyme is pivotal, and how we…
