Structural organization of the ribosome and elongation factor G. (a) Crystal structure of the 70S ribosome (Protein Data Bank ID [PDBID] 4V6F1). Large, 50S subunit and small, 30S subunit are colored in light blue and light green, respectively. A‐site, P‐site, and E‐site tRNAs are shown in yellow, orange, and red, respectively. mRNA is colored purple. A box diagram of the ribosome showing tRNAs bound in the A, P, and E sites of the 50S and 30S subunits is shown below the crystal structure of the 70S ribosome. (b) Crystal structure of ribosome‐free EF‐G (PDBID 1DAR2) with domains color‐coded: G′ domain (dark blue), G domain (green), domain II (dark red), domain III (orange), domain IV (magenta), and domain V (light blue).
