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 c...
