Predicting the pathway involved in post-translational modification of Elongation factor P in a subset of bacterial species

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The bacterial elongation factor P (EF-P) is strictly conserved in bacteria and essential for protein synthesis. It is homologous to the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A). A highly conserved eIF5A lysine is modified...
