Translocation of the ribosome along the mRNA is catalysed by ________.

  • A.EF-Tu
  • B.EF-G
  • C.IF-3
  • D.RF-1

Answer: A

Correct answer: EF-G

EF-G, also called translocase, uses GTP hydrolysis to advance the ribosome by exactly one codon, shifting the tRNAs from the A and P sites to the P and E sites. Without it the ribosome would stall after forming each peptide bond.
