Figure 1
Sequence of steps during GTPase activation. For explanations, see text. The distortion of aa-tRNA is indicated by a kink. E, P, A, tRNA binding sites of the ribosome. GTP* denotes the GTPase-activated conformation of EF-Tu. The structure of the kirromycin-stabilized intermediate indicated by the red frame was solved by cryo-EM.
