Files in this Data Supplement:

  • Download Supporting Information (PDF)
  • Download Movie_S01 (AVI) - Movie S1. Changes in reconstructed cryo-EM snapshots from a selected viewing direction, as the path of lowest energy is traversed. The position along the path is indicated by the purple dot in the right panel.
  • Download Movie_S02 (AVI) - Movie S2. Variations in the ribosome structure along the path of lowest energy, as indicated by the position of the purple dot in the right panel. The sequence of 3D structures is identical in Movies S2 through S4, but is shown in three different standard viewing directions. Viewing direction here: from the factor-binding side.
  • Download Movie_S03 (AVI) - Movie S3. Variations in the ribosome structure along the path of lowest energy, as indicated by the position of the purple dot in the right panel. The sequence of 3D structures is identical in Movies S2 through S4, but is shown in three different standard viewing directions. Viewing direction here: from the solvent side.
  • Download Movie_S04 (AVI) - Movie S4. Variations in the ribosome structure along the path of lowest energy, as indicated by the position of the purple dot in the right panel. The sequence of 3D structures is identical in Movies S2 through S4, but is shown in three different standard viewing directions. Viewing direction here: from the top.
  • Download Movie_S05 (AVI) - Movie S5. The ribosome structure, in three standard views, as it varies between the seven successive points along the path of lowest energy indicated by the position of the red circle in the right panel.
