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.
Aminotransfer reaction between an amino acid and an alpha-keto acid. Transamination (or aminotransfer) is a chemical reaction that replaces an amine functional group with another amine. In many applications, an amino acid is the substrate. The other substrate is a keto acid, which contains a keto (=O) group. In transamination, the NH 2 group on one molecule is exchanged with the =O group on the other. The original amino acid converts to a keto acid, and the keto acid converts to an amino acid.
