Abstract excerpt
We have observed that two EF-Tu.GTP cycles are required to make one peptide bond during steady-state translation in an accurate and fast poly(U) translation system prepared from Escherichia coli. We have also found that there are two complexes of EF-Tu.GTP bound to one molecule of aminoacyl-tRNA under our experimental conditions. We suggest, on the basis of these data, that aminoacyl-tRNA enters the ribosomal...
