1 Mechanism of the chemical step for the guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis catalyzed by elongation factor Tu. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
2 Mechanism of the chemical step for the guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis catalyzed by elongation factor Tu. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
3 Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), the protein responsible for delivering aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) to ribosomal A site during translation, belongs to the group of guanosine-nucleotide (GTP/GDP) binding proteins. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
4 Elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu), the protein responsible for delivering aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs) to ribosomal A site during translation, belongs to the group of guanosine-nucleotide (GTP/GDP) binding proteins. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
5 In the first case we presumably mimic binding of the ternary complex EF-Tu.GTP.aa-tRNA to the ribosome and allow the histidine (His85) side chain of the protein to approach the reaction active site. Guanosine Triphosphate eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 Homo sapiens
6 In the second case, corresponding to the GTP hydrolysis by EF-Tu alone, the side chain of His85 stays away from the active site, and the chemical reaction GTP+H(2)O-->GDP+Pi proceeds without participation of the histidine but through water molecules.

8 In agreement with the experimental observations which distinguish rate constants for the fast chemical reaction in EF-Tu.GTP.aa-tRNA.ribosome and the slow spontaneous GTP hydrolysis in EF-Tu, we show that the activation energy barrier for the first scenario is considerably lower compared to that of the second case.
