Identification of a site on 23S ribosomal RNA located at the peptidyl transferase center.

abstract：:How truth wins in social groups is an important open problem. Classic experiments on social groups dealing with truth statement issues present mixed findings on the conditions of truth abandonment and reaching a consensus on the truth. No theory has been developed and evaluated that might integrate these findings with...
