Figure 1. Ribbon diagrams of EF-Tu molecules. (a) EC-EF-Tu-GDP; (b) same view of EF-Tu-GTP from T. aquaticus (TA-EF-Tu-GTP). The switch I region is shown in yellow and the switch II region in green. The rest of the polypeptide backbone is shown in purple, royal blue and dark blue for domain 1 (residues 8-204), domain 2 (residues 205-298) and domain 3 (299-393), respectively. GDP or GTP molecules are shown in ball- and-stick models, and Mg 2+ are shown as cyan spheres. The Figure was drawn with MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991), as are Figures 4 and 5.
