PARTIAL MODEL FOR 30S RIBOSOMAL SUBUNIT
Overview
The 30S ribosomal subunit binds messenger RNA and the anticodon stem-loop, of transfer RNA during protein synthesis. A crystallographic analysis of, the structure of the subunit from the bacterium Thermus thermophilus is, presented. At a resolution of 5.5 A, the phosphate backbone of the, ribosomal RNA is visible, as are the alpha-helices of the ribosomal, proteins, enabling double-helical regions of RNA to be identified, throughout the subunit, all seven of the small-subunit proteins of known, crystal structure to be positioned in the electron density map, and the, fold of the entire central domain of the small-subunit ribosomal RNA to be, determined.
