Abstract

A kinetic analysis of a steady-state polypeptide chain elongation is presented based on the hypothesis of stereospecific stabilization of the codon-anticodon complexes by ribosome during aa-tRNA selection and translocation stages. Equations have been obtained describing the dependence of the elongation rate on concentrations of aa-tRNA, aa-tRNA·EF-Tu·GTP complex, EF-Tu·GTP and EF-G·GTP complexes.
