Professor Noller's group recently solved the x-ray crystal structure of 70S ribosome functional complexes, first at 7.8 angstrom resolution, then at 5.5 angstrom resolution. These views of ribosome functional complexes are major advances, supporting the model that ribosome function, including the mechanims of tRNA binding, peptide bond formation and translocation of tRNA and mRNA within the ribosome, is based on RNA function. UCSC Nanopore Research Technology gets chatted up in Science In the Tech. Sight section of the April 20th Issue of Science , the UCSC Nanopore Research Team's Nanopore system is discussed. The figure provided in this article came from a paper by Wenonah Vercoutere, a graduate student in Chemistry.
