Steric interactions lead to collective tilting motion in the ribosome during mRNA–tRNA translocation

During protein elongation, the translocation of mRNA and tRNA molecules across the 30S ribosomal subunit is associated with large-scale motions of the 30S head domain. Here the authors carry out MD simulations to probe the associated steric interactions and identify novel tilting motions during the...

Description
Résumé:During protein elongation, the translocation of mRNA and tRNA molecules across the 30S ribosomal subunit is associated with large-scale motions of the 30S head domain. Here the authors carry out MD simulations to probe the associated steric interactions and identify novel tilting motions during the late stages of translocation.
