The stoichiometry of the EF-Tu-GTP-aminoacyl-tRNA complex has been re-determined by a variety of methods, viz gel filtrations, fluorescence titrations, as well as hydrolysis and RNase protection experiments. The results of these experiments clearly demonstrate that one aminoacyl-tRNA interacts with only one EF-Tu-GTP molecule, in agreement with the established view and in contrast to the recently published results by Ehrenberg et al [6].
