Chapter 12, Problem 22RE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Functions of EF-G, EF-Tu, EF-Ts, EF-P, and peptidyl transferase are to be explained.

Concept introduction:

EF-G, EF-Tu, EF-Ts, and EF-P are the translational elongation factors present in almost all the prokaryotes. They are the factors most responsible for attaining high accuracy during the translation of mRNA with amino acids. Peptidyl transferase is an enzyme found in $50$ S ribosome that helps in forming peptide bonds between two amino acids.
