Structural dynamic aspects of protein synthesis on ribosomes.
Three types of conformational changes in the translating ribosome are considered: (1) intersubunit movement (ribosome unlocking) during translocation; (2) L7/L12 stalk mobility affected by elongation factors; (3) change of tRNA residue during its transition from the A-site to the P-site. Relevant experimental data are reviewed.
