Guanosine Diphosphate 124-127 G elongation factor mitochondrial 1 Homo sapiens 86-90 16940356-3 2006 We have reinvestigated GTP/GDP binding and show that EF-G binds GTP and GDP with affinities in the 20 to 40 microM range (37 degrees C), in accordance with earlier reports. Guanosine Diphosphate 27-30 G elongation factor mitochondrial 1 Homo sapiens 53-57 16940356-3 2006 We have reinvestigated GTP/GDP binding and show that EF-G binds GTP and GDP with affinities in the 20 to 40 microM range (37 degrees C), in accordance with earlier reports. Guanosine Diphosphate 72-75 G elongation factor mitochondrial 1 Homo sapiens 53-57 16940356-4 2006 Furthermore, GDP exchange, which is extremely rapid on unbound EF-G, is retarded, rather than accelerated, on the ribosome, which, therefore, is not a nucleotide-exchange factor for EF-G.
