Poul Nissen coauthored the structural basis of ribosome activity in peptide bond synthesis by Poul Nissen and others.
Substrate-analogue structures in this study locate peptide bond formation in an RNA-based active site of the ribosome. This is concrete structural evidence for the catalytic role of ribosomal RNA, linking the geometry of the substrate-binding site to translation.
