Peptide bond formation is all about proximity

Steven T Gregory & Albert E Dahlberg

The authors are in the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912, USA. Steven_Gregory@Brown.edu

Peptide bond formation by the ribosome is central to the expression of genetic information, yet its precise mechanism has resisted elucidation for decades. Two recent studies indicate that substrate orientation is the sole driving force behind the ribosome-catalyzed reaction.
