Abstract
Messenger RNA is moved a distance of approximately three nucleotides in the 5' direction relative to the ribosome during the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A to the P site. This movement is catalyzed by G factor and is dependent on the hydrolysis of GTP. In contrast, mRNA is not moved during the f(2)-catalyzed hydrolysis of GTP that is involved in the activation of ribosome-bound fMet-tRNA. This second type of GTP-dependent reaction has been named "Accommodation".Entities:
