In the context of organic chemistry reactions, what does not result upon binding of release factors to the ribosome during protein synthesis?
A
Formation of a new peptide bond
B
Termination of protein synthesis
C
Release of the newly synthesized polypeptide
D
Hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA bond
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of release factors in protein synthesis: Release factors are proteins that bind to the ribosome when a stop codon is reached during translation, signaling the termination of protein synthesis.
Identify the processes that occur upon binding of release factors: When release factors bind to the ribosome, they facilitate the hydrolysis of the peptidyl-tRNA bond, leading to the release of the newly synthesized polypeptide chain.
Recognize the termination of protein synthesis: The binding of release factors to the ribosome results in the termination of protein synthesis, as the ribosome disassembles and the translation process concludes.
Consider the formation of a new peptide bond: During protein synthesis, peptide bonds are formed between amino acids to elongate the polypeptide chain. However, the binding of release factors does not involve the formation of new peptide bonds.
Conclude which option does not occur: Since the formation of a new peptide bond is not a result of release factor binding, it is the correct answer to the question of what does not result from this process.
