Ribosome Movies

Rf2 with mRNA and selected 16S and 23S nucleotides. The movie shows a morph of closed Rf2 into open Rf2 with developement of interaction sites.
avi (3.1 MB) :::
Translation movie showing the proposed movement of the A-, P- and E-site tRNA's during translocation and elongation
mov (91 MB) :::

A 360 degree rotation of the 70S ribosome, tRNAs and mRNA.
Small 349x261 (9.7 MB) :::
Large 700x525 (37 MB)

A Quicktime VR movie of the ribosome. Dragging in the horizontal axis rotates the model while
dragging in the vertical axis changes which portions of the ribosome are displayed.

A Hybrid states movie showing the proposed movement of the A-, P- and E-site tRNA's during
translocation and elongation.
640x480 (2.6 MB)

Three conformational states of the 30S subunit based on x-ray structures of the 30S as part of the 70S complex, and
crystallized alone in the presence of tRNA anticodon stem loops and antibotics.
