Deciphering molecular details of the RAC–ribosome interaction by EPR spectroscopy

Abstract The eukaryotic ribosome-associated complex (RAC) plays a significant role in de novo protein folding. Its unique interaction with the ribosome, comprising contacts to both ribosomal subunits, suggests a RAC-mediated coordination between translation elongation and co-translational protein fo...
