Question

During protein synthesis in bacteria peptide bond formation is performed by

Answer 1

amino group and other molecules

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be peptidyl transferase.

It is an enzyme associated with large sub-unit of the ribosome. It is an RNA-based enzyme that catalyzes the formation of peptide bond during translation.

The energy for peptide bond formation is derived from hydrolysis of GTP which is done by one of the elongation factors associated with the ribosome.
