Ribosome and RF1
PDB ID: 2B64Ribosomes build proteins based on genetic information. This structure shows termination, where a release factor is recognizing the stop codon and terminating synthesis of the protein. This structure is so large that the coordinates are separated into two files: 2b64 and 2b66.
