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.
Amino acids that have been incorporated into peptides are termed residues due to the release of either a hydrogen ion from the amine end or a hydroxyl ion from the carboxyl end, or both, as a water molecule is released during formation of each amide bond.
