A Site (Ribosomal) Definition:

  • Ribosomal site to which new aminoacyl-tRNAs (except the first one) bind..

    Molecular Biology by Robert F. Weaver



A Site (Ribosomal) Notes:

The A site in ribosome is the entry point for the 'aminoacyl tRNA ', (except for the first aminoacyl tRNA, whose entry point is the 'P' site). Whereas, the P site is where the peptidyl tRNA is generated in the ribosome. In other words, A site is the binding site for the tRNA except for the first one.
