Which of the following is a ribozyme?

A
Peptidyl transferase
B
Elongation factor 2
C
Primase
D
RNA polymerase
High-Yield Explanation
Interestingly, some RNA molecules have intrinsic catalytic activity. The activity of these RNA enzymes, or ribozymes, often involves the cleavage of a nucleic acid. Two ribozymes are the peptidyl transferase that catalyzes peptide bond formation on the ribosome, and ribozymes involved in the RNA splicing.Ref: Harpers Illustrated Biochemistry, 30th edition, page no: 363
