Fig. 3. (A) Stereo ribbon representation of the superposition
of RRF (blue) and yeast tRNA^Phe (red) with Molmol (34). (B)
Comparison of EF-G (36) and the ternary complex of EF-Tu + GDPNP
+ aatRNA (32). EF-G (left) is similar in shape to EF-Tu + GDPNP
+ aatRNA (right). Domain III-IV of EF-G (purple) imitates the
shape of the tRNA (red) bound to EF-Tu (yellow). The remaining
domains of EF-G (green) are structurally similar to EF-Tu. RRF
(A) imitates the tRNA in a totally different manner. (C) Grasp
(34) surface representation of the superposition of RRF (blue)
and yeast tRNA^Phe (red). The shapes and sizes of the surfaces
are nearly identical except for the acceptor end of tRNA (to the
right), which has no corresponding part in RRF.
