title: [Structure and functions of the prokaryotic elongation factor G].
abstract: Structural and functional data on elongation factor G (EF-G) are reviewed with regard to nucleotide exchange, GTP hydrolysis, mechanism of action of fusidic acid, and functional roles of the EF-G structural domains in translocation. Biochemical data are correlated with structural dynamics of the EF-G molecule on interaction with various ligands. Data on EF-Tu are also considered, as EF-G and EF-Tu share certain structural and functional features.
