This is a place to keep track of desirable landmarks and protocol for grounding them.
Helices
Strategy: ...
There doesn't seem to be a straightforward way to do this short of aligning everything to handpicked locations from 2014, which is not so terrible idea in the end. Waiting to chat with Anton.
PTC (Peptidyl Transferase Center)
Strategy: ...
The active site where peptide bond formation occurs.
Decoding Center: Where codon-anticodon recognition takes place.
Strategy: ...
mRNA entry and exit sites
Strategy: ...
