P.511 right column bottom paragraph: "Proteins are synthesised at a rate of 10-20 amino acids per second (primary source), the ribosomal tunnel has a length of approx. 100 Å (Nissen et al., 2000) and a single amino acid occupies approx. 3.5 Å. Thus, within a few seconds after translation is initiated, the polypeptide, given that it is in
extended conformation, starts to emerge from the ribosomal exit tunnel." |
