title: Imprinting through molecular mimicry. Protein synthesis.
abstract: Part of the structure of translational elongation factor G, in a complex with GDP, resembles the tRNA bound in a ternary complex with elongation factor Tu and GTP; this 'molecular mimicry' extends to charge distribution as well as shape.
