TL;DR: In this article, the authors have studied the interactions of nucleobases and aromatic amino acids with graphene and graphene oxide flakes by ab initio density functional theory (DFT) and showed that the results are consistent with the results of the previous work.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of E. coli RF3*GDP is presented, which has a three-domain architecture strikingly similar to the structure of EF-Tu*GTP, which shows that a surface region involving domains II and III is important for distinct steps in the action cycle of RF3.

TL;DR: Heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy is demonstrated that L12 binds directly to the factors IF2,EF-Tu, EF-G, and RF3 from Escherichia coli, and the region of L12 involved in these interactions is mapped, indicating that the L12-factor complexes will be highly populated on the ribosome, because of the high local concentration of ribosomes-bound factor with respect to L12.

TL;DR: Kinetics and cryo-electronmicroscopy data provide insights into GTPase ObgE's role as a ribosome anti-association factor that is modulated by nutrient availability, coupling growth control to ribosomes biosynthesis and protein translation.

TL;DR: Small-angle X-ray scattering data from E. coli RF1 and from a functionally active truncated RF1 derivative obviate the need for assuming large conformational changes in RFs during termination.
