Abstract excerpt
Translation of the genetic code requires the accurate selection of elongation factor (EF)-Tu.GTP.tRNA ternary complexes at the ribosomal acceptor site, or A site. Several independent lines of evidence have implicated the universally conserved 530 loop of 16S rRNA in this process; yet its precise role has not been identified. Using an allele-specific chemical probing strategy, we have examined the functional...
