Structural Studies Reveal the Role of Helix 68 in the Elongation Step of Protein Biosynthesis

ABSTRACT The ribosome, a multicomponent assembly consisting of RNA and proteins, is a pivotal macromolecular machine that translates the genetic code into proteins. The large ribosomal subunit rRNA helix 68 (H68) is a key element in the protein synthesis process, as it coordinates the coupled moveme...
