Abstract excerpt
Peptide release on the ribosome is catalyzed in the large subunit peptidyl transferase center by release factors on recognition of stop codons in the small subunit decoding center. Here we examine the role of the decoding center in this process. Mutation of decoding center nucleotides or removal of 2'OH groups from the codon--deleterious in the related process of tRNA selection--has only mild effects on peptide...
