- P-site
-
The P-site (for peptidyl) is the second binding site for t-RNA in the ribosome. The other two sites are the A-site (aminoacyl), which is the first binding site in the ribosome, and the E-site (exit), which is the third and final binding site in the ribosome. L27 is located at the P-site as shown by affinity labeling (A.P. Czernilofsky et al., Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci. USA, Vol 71, pp 230–234, 1974, and FEBS Lett., Vol 63, pp 283–286, 1976).
