Abstract:Translation requires efficient peptidyl transfer to support the cellular needs. Of the factors that facilitate the peptide elongation, elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is crucial in helping the correct aminoacyl-tRNA to be incorporated into the protein. It also acts as an energy carrier to move aminoacyl-tRNA near to P site peptides, forming a new peptide bond. Here, we investigated diffusive motions of translationally fused EF-Tu (TufA and TufB) with mEos2 via single particle tracking photoactivation localization… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
