| Comments |
The addition of an amino
acid to a growing peptide chain requires two ATP molecules for
amino acid activation and another two ATP for peptide bond
formation and ribosome translation, plus additional costs
of about another ATP, for error correction and the synthesis
of sequences that are removed during protein maturation (primary source). |
