Elongation factor

Elongation factor
A protein that facilitates protein synthesis.
Endonuclease
An enzyme that makes breaks in a molecule of DNA by hydrolyzing internal phosphodiester bonds.

Elongation factor G (EF-G) A member of the G-protein family that closely resembles the complex between EF-Tu and trna. Hydrolysis of GTP by EF-G causes the trnas and mrna to move through the ribosome a distance corresponding to one codon.

GTP (the source of the needed energy) ...

The aminoacyl-tRNA is brought to the ribosome through a series of interactions with EF-Tu (an elongation factor).
