Elongation in bacterial protein biosynthesis.
The past year has brought some notable advances in our understanding of the structure and function of elongation factors (EFs) involved in protein biosynthesis. The structures of the ternary complex of aminoacylated tRNA with EF-Tu.GTP and of the complex EF-Tu.EF-Ts have been determined. Within the same period, new cryo-electron microscopy reconstructions of ribosome particles have been obtained.
