'''Ribosome recycling factor''' (RRF) acts in releasing the ribosome from mRNA after completion of protein synthesis. | '''Ribosome recycling factor''' (RRF) acts in releasing the ribosome from mRNA after completion of protein synthesis. | ||
RRF splits the ribosome into its small and large subunits. RRF is used together with elongation factor G in achieving this separation<ref>PMID:16043510</ref>. RRF is a structural mimic of tRNA but binds to the ribosome differently than the A-site, P-site or E-site tRNA. | RRF splits the ribosome into its small and large subunits.
