Brodersen & V. Ramakrishnan Ditlev E. Brodersen and V. Ramakrishnan are in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH, UK. Correspondence should be addressed to V. Ramakrishnan ramak@mrc-lmb.cam.ac.ukBecause some translation factors mimic the shape of tRNA, they were thought to bind the ribosome in a similar manner. Recent work suggests that this idea of molecular mimicry needs to be reassessed.
