[HTML][HTML] Locking and unlocking of ribosomal motions

…, J Sengupta, U Rawat, M Ehrenberg, J Frank - Cell, 2003 - cell.com
During the ribosomal translocation, the binding of elongation factor G (EF-G) to the
pretranslocational ribosome leads to a ratchet-like rotation of the 30S subunit relative to the 50S …

A model of protein synthesis based on cryo-electron microscopy of the E. coli ribosome

J Frank, J Zhu, P Penczek, Y Li, S Srivastava… - Nature, 1995 - nature.com
THE ribosome is formed by assembly of proteins and nucleic acids, and synthesizes proteins
according to genetic instructions in all organisms. Many of the biochemical steps of this …
