Amino acid activation involves forming an aminoacyl-AMP complex with by-products H2O, PPi, and AMP; the carboxyl end reacts via ester bonding, catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
In amino acid activation, an aminoacyl-AMP complex is formed, with by-products like H2O + PPi and AMP. The carboxylic acid end of the amino acid reacts, catalyzed by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, forming an ester bond.
