Abstract excerpt
Translocation, the directional movement of transfer RNA (tRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) substrates on the ribosome during protein synthesis, is regulated by dynamic processes intrinsic to the translating particle. Using single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) imaging, in combination with site-directed mutagenesis of the ribosome and tRNA substrates, we show that peptidyl-tRNA within the...
