Abstract
Protein synthesis elongation factor Tu has been mapped on the surface of the ribosome by immunoelectron microscopy. The EF-Tu binding site is located near the concave portion of the small subunit at the level of the neck and extends 60 to 70 A above and below the neck. The binding site is present on the side of the subunit opposite the platform, i.e. on the exterior subunit surface. This EF-Tu site differs from that found for elongation factor G in that the EF-Tu site is significantly more exposed to the cytoplasm.Entities:
