Abstract excerpt
The current understanding of the specificity of the bacterial class I release factors (RFs) in decoding stop codons has evolved beyond a simple tripeptide anticodon model. A recent molecular dynamics study for deciphering the principles for specific stop codon recognition by RFs identified Arg-213 as a crucial residue on Escherichia coli RF2 for discriminating guanine in the third position (G3). Interestingly,...
