Peptidyl transferase center A region of the large ribosomal subunit that catalyzes peptide-bond formation between the aminoacyl (or peptidyl) trna in the P site and the aminoacyl trna in the A site.

Interaction of the RF with a stop codon causes the peptidyl transferase activity of the ribosome to catalyze the hydrolysis of the ester bond between the tRNA and the polypeptide chain, ...
