Question

Peptidyl transferase plays an important role during protein synthesis. What is true about this enzyme?

• A. It is proteinaceous
• B. It is RNA as catalyst
• C. It helps in peptide bond formation
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

The peptidyl transferase is an amino acyltransferase as well as the primary enzymatic function of the ribosome, which forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids using tRNAs during the translation process of protein biosynthesis. It is one of the enzymes that is non-proteinaceous in nature rather it acts as a ribozyme, which means here RNA acts as a catalyst.

So, the correct option is 'Both B & C'.
