A large ribosomal subunit bonds to the initiation complex. The codon adjacent to the initiation codon bonds to its complementary anticodon, which is part of a free tRNA. The two amino acids still attached to their tRNAs align. With the help of rRNA, amino acids form peptide bonds. Then, the first tRNA is released.
The peptide bond is the single most important covalent bond linking amino acids in peptides and proteins. The only other type of covalent bond that occurs frequently enough to deserve special mention here is the disulfide bond sometimes formed between two cysteine residues.
