Structural highlights
1efg is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
EFG_THET8 Catalyzes the GTP-dependent ribosomal translocation step during translation elongation. During this step, the ribosome changes from the pre-translocational (PRE) to the post-translocational (POST) state as the newly formed A-site-bound peptidyl-tRNA and P-site-bound deacylated tRNA move to the P and E sites, respectively. Catalyzes the coordinated movement of the two tRNA molecules, the mRNA and conformational changes in the ribosome.
