G926 H-bonds to phosphate +1 of the P-site codon of the mRNA. Both the N1 and N2 positions of the invariant bulged base G926 form hydrogen bonds with the OP2 oxygen of the phosphate group of nucleotide +1 of the mRNA, corresponding to the first position of the P-site codon (Korostelev et al. 2006; Jenner et al. 2010).
