To explain: The reason why the enzyme peptidyl tRNA synthetase is necessary.
Concept introduction tRNA transfers RNA that acts as nucleic acid decoder. This plays an important role in the translation process. The mRNA codons are read by anticodon arm of tRNA that codes for protein. This leads to the synthesis of protein sequence. The aminoacyl transferase enzyme that forms the peptide bonds, during the translation process, is called peptidyl tRNA transferase
