Abstract excerpt
The sarcin/ricin domain (SRD) in Escherichia coli 23 S rRNA forms a part of the site for the association of the elongation factors with the ribosome and hence is critical for the binding of aminoacyl-tRNA and for translocation. The domain is also the site of action of the eponymous toxins which catalyze covalent modification of single nucleotides that inactivate the ribosome. The conformation of the conserved...
