Abstract excerpt
Elongation factor Tu from Escherichia coli cycles between an active conformation where GTP is bound, and an inactive conformation where GDP is bound. Between the two conformations, elongation factor Tu undergoes major structural changes. The aim of this work has been to reveal the role of two very well conserved glycine residues, Gly83 and Gly94, in the switch mechanism. Gly83 has been mutated alone or in...
