<p>Elongation factor P (EF-P) is a prokaryotic protein translation factor requiredfor efficient peptide bond synthesis on 70S ribosomes from fMet-tRNAfMet [<cite idref="PUB00000702"/>].Probably functions indirectly by altering the affinity of the ribosome for aminoacyl-tRNA,thus increasing their reactivity as acceptors for peptidyl transferase.</p><p>This entry reresents the central domain of elongation factor P and its homologues. It forms an oligonucleotide-binding (OB) fold, though it is not clear if this region is involved in binding nucleic acids [<cite idref="PUB00015919"/>].</p> Translation elongation factor P/YeiP, central
