The researchers found that eEF3 binds to the ribosome early in translocation, with its conformational changes accompanied by the swiveling of the 40S head and the rotation of the 40S body.

The ribosome is a large assembly of proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) that functions to translate messenger RNAs (mRNAs) into proteins. The ribosome catalyzes the assembly of amino acids into ...
