'Molecules it Interacts With and where '
The protein binds to GDP as well as the following ligands in order to promote the attachment of the protein complex to the ribosome A site.
PHOSHOAMINOPHOSPHONIC ACID-GUANYLATE ESTER
PHENYLALANINE
MAGNESIUM ION
'Origin'
It has domains that are created in yeast (phenyl-transfer RNA) , in the heat resistant Thermus aquaticus (EF-Tu elongation factor, and can be synthetically manufactured.
'Structure'
It has 3 domains. G proteins, Elongation Factors, and the EF-Tu/eEF-1alpha/eIF2-gamma C-terminal domain. It is composed of 6 chains, which combine in alignment.
Specific are highlighted here. The ligands listed above, GDP, Phe, and Mg+2 ion each attach at these locations which are still being explored.
which play a crucial role in binding to the ribosome during translation. They form positive pockets with which negative amino acids can bind to.

'Function"
The protein complex participates in placing the amino acids in their correct order when messenger RNA is translated into a protein sequence on the ribosome by promoting GTP-dependent binding of tRNA to the A site of the ribosome. In other words, it is involved with elongation during polypeptide synthesis.

Introduction:
This is a core component of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the basic packaging unit of DNA. It consists of histone proteins and DNA wrapped around it. A typical nucleosome has an octamer of eight histone proteins that are in contact with a 146 bp long DNA fragment. When the chromatin needs to be more condensed, the nucleosomes fold onto themselves to create a tightly packed structure.
