Summary Introduction

To determine:

The elongation factors used in bacterial translation and also explain the role of each elongation factor in translation.

Introduction:

Protein synthesis involves in three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Elongation is an important stage in the translation of mRNA into proteins. During elongation phage, amino acids are joined together to form a polypeptide chain. Elongation requires several elements for the formation of polypeptide chains such as the 70S initiation complex, charged tRNA with their amino acids, multiple elongation factors, and GTP molecule.
