Abstract excerpt
The sarcin/ricin domain (SRD) in Escherichia coli 23 S rRNA is a part of the site for the association of elongation factors with ribosomes and for that reason is critical for the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA and for translocation during the reiterative elongation reactions of protein synthesis. The SRD has a GAGA tetraloop that is shut off by a Watson-Crick C2658 x G2663 pair. The contribution of this pair to the...
