'''Elongation factors''' (EF) facilitate translational elongation during the formation of peptide bonds in the ribosome. EF-selB is selenocysteine-specific EF. EF-Tu or EF 1-α (elongation factor thermo unstable) is a prokaryotic EF. EF-Tu contributes to translational accuracy. It catalyzes the addition of aminoacyl tRNA. | '''Elongation factors''' (EF) facilitate translational elongation during the formation of peptide bonds in the ribosome.
