The 30S <i>T. thermophilus</i> subunit (1J5E), interface side.

Abstract

<p>The 16S rRNA and r-proteins of interested are highlighted: 5′ Domain yellow, Central Domain grey, 3′ Major Domain orange, and 3′ Minor Domain purple; S15 blue, S17 dark green, and S20 dark red. The <i>E. coli</i> structure (2AVY) is nearly identical, but slight structural differences for the proteins of interest are discussed in the text and visualized in <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002530#pcbi-1002530-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>. The remaining r-proteins have been removed for better visualization of the 16S rRNA domains.</p
