'''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.
