N<sup>6</sup>-methyladenosine (m<sup>6</sup>A) is an abundant, dynamic mRNA modification that regulates key steps of cellular mRNA metabolism. m<sup>6</sup>A in the mRNA coding regions inhibits translation elongation. Here, we show how m<sup>6</sup>A modulates decoding in the bacterial translation system using a combination of rapid kinetics, smFRET and single-particle cryo-EM. We show that, while the modification does not impair the initial binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome, in the pres ...[more]
