Abstract:
Elongation factor EF-Tu is a key component in the translation step of protein synthesis, where it forms a complex with amino-acyl tRNA and delivers it to the ribosome. Until now, none of the known EF-Tu molecules have discriminated between the different species of tRNA, but now a new discovery sheds light on a curious EF-Tu homolog that binds just a single tRNA species.
