The crystal structure of IF1 bound to the 30S ribosomal subunit shows that IF1 binds to the _____________ of the ribosome.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The A site on the ribosome is the site where incoming aminoacyl-tRNAs are bound during protein synthesis. IF1 binds to the A site of the ribosome and prevents premature binding of aminoacyl-tRNAs, ensuring that the ribosome is properly assembled before translation begins.
