Abstract excerpt
A mechanistic understanding of ribosome function demands knowledge of the conformational changes that occur during protein synthesis. One current model proposes a conformational switch in Helix 27 (H27) of 16S rRNA involved in the decoding of mRNA. This model was based on the behavior of mutations in the 912 region of H27 of Escherichia coli 16S rRNA, which were predicted to stabilize the helix in either of two...
