The E site on the ribosome is where the deaminoacylated tRNA (tRNA with the released amino acid) resides before leaving the ribosome. The A site is where the aminoacylated tRNA (tRNA with amino acid attached) enters the ribosome to add on to the growing polypeptide chain. EF factors are involved in facilitating movement of the ribosome along the mRNA, and the tunnel in the ribosome is where the polypeptide chain is elongated.
