Hence its earliest origins likely lie in the RNA world that preceded LUCA. In order to understand pre-LUCA developments, it is argued that events that are coupled in time are especially useful if one can infer a likely order in which they occurred. Thus, the molecular mimicry between EF-G and the ternary complex suggests that EF-Tu preceded EF-G. Using such timing events, the relative age of various proteins and individual regions within the large rRNA are inferred. These results allow the construction of a timeline for the major events that occurred during the evolution of the ribosome.  \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:loren.williams@chemistry.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EProf. Loren Williams\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-9752).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. George E.
