Abstract excerpt
During translation, tRNAs must move rapidly to their adjacent sites in the ribosome while maintaining precise pairing with mRNA. This movement (translocation) occurs in a stepwise manner with hybrid-state intermediates, but it is unclear how these hybrid states relate to kinetically defined events of translocation. Here we analyze mutations at position 2394 of 23S rRNA in a pre-steady-state kinetic analysis of...
