Abstract excerpt
Molecular dynamics simulation identified three highly conserved rRNA bases in the large subunit of the ribosome that form a three-dimensional (3D) "gate" that induces pausing of the aa-tRNA acceptor stem during accommodation into the A-site. A nearby fourth base contacting the "tryptophan finger" of yeast protein L3, which is involved in the coordinating elongation factor recruitment to the ribosome with...
