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 bonds that link amino acid residues in a polypeptide are formed in a condensation reaction between the acidic carboxyl group of one amino acid and the basic amino group of another amino acid. In the context of a peptide, the amide group (COâNH) is referred to as the peptide group.
