abstract：:Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is the most abundant protein in prokaryotic cells. Its general function in protein biosynthesis is well established. It is a member of the large family of G-proteins, all of which bind guanosine phosphates (GDP or GTP) as cofactors. In its active GTP bound state EF-Tu binds aminoacylated t...
