Question
This structure’s activity is mediated by eIF2 in a process that hydrolyzes GTP. EF-Tu cycles on and off this structure as it catalyzes a processive reaction. One substrate this structure binds contains an acceptor stem and a CCA tail. In prokaryotes, this structure binds to the purine-rich Shine-Dalgarno sequence. In eukaryotes, this structure that contains E, P, and A sites is made up of small 40S and large 60S subunits. tRNAs containing anti-codons are added to polypeptide chains in this structure that performs translation.For 10 points, name these macromolecular complexes that take in mRNA to conduct protein synthesis. ■END■
