Supplementary Figure 4: FRET analyses of 30S head swiveling.

30S head swiveling indicated by changes in FRET efficiencies between donor Alexa 555 and acceptor Alexa 647 probes attached to S11 and S13 for the S11-Donor/S13-Acceptor pair. PRE 70S complexes were rapidly mixed with EF-G wt or the EF-G mutant S588P or Δloop II and GTP at time 0 and Alexa 647 emission was recorded. Each trace represents the average of 10 reactions.
