{c}

The eukaryotic translocation <GTPase>, functionally corresponding to bacterial <EF-G>.

It couples <GTP> <hydrolysis> to movement of the <ribosome> along messenger <RNA> during <biological translation>. Translocation shifts the relative positions of the message and bound <transfer RNAs>, allowing another codon to enter the decoding cycle. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 4–7, chromatin, replication and gene regulation]{ref}
