Q11 of 30 Page 1

Explain aminoacylation of t-RNA.

• The polymerization of amino acids from a polypeptide is called translation.


• The amino acids are joined together by a peptide bond which requires energy.


• Therefore, in the presence of ATP, amino acids are activated and linked to another cognate tRNA which is known as charging of tRNA or aminoacylation of tRNA.
