MeSH definition : Peptide elongation factor 1 is a multisubunit protein that is responsible for the
GTP-dependent binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs to eukaryotic ribosomes. The alpha subunit
(EF-1alpha) binds aminoacyl-tRNA and transfers it to the ribosome in a process linked
to GTP hydrolysis. The beta and delta subunits (EF-1beta, EF-1delta) are involved
in exchanging GDP for GTP. The gamma subunit (EF-1gamma) is a structural component.;
