Bacterial translation involves a lot of factors and steps (initiation, elongation, termination, recycling, etc). Explain the steps involved in a cycle of bacterial translation elongation. Specify at which steps there is an energetic requirement (e.g. ATP or GTP hydrolysis). How many ATP and GTP molecules are consumed per one cycle of bacterial translation elongation assuming that there are no mistakes?
Ans:
Elongation requires the following factors
1. EF-TU-GTP (TU - Thermo unstable)
2. EF-TS-GTP (TS- Thermostable)
3. EF-G-GTP (Translocase)

Total No. of GTP utilized are = 2
