bound to the ribosome. (A) Representative electron density from
an unbiased difference Fourier map displayed at 1.3 ,
with the refined model of EF-Tu (red) and Thr-tRNA^Thr (purple).
(B) Overall view of the complex, with EF-Tu and tRNAs depicted
as surfaces, and rRNA and protein as cartoons. PTC, peptidyl
transferase center; DC, decoding center. (C) Contacts between TC
and the ribosome, with interacting residues shown as spheres.
