Abstract Models of the bacterial ribosome based on recent structural analyses are beginning
to provide new insights into the protein synthetic machinery. Central to evolving models are …

The large ribosomal subunit catalyzes peptide bond formation and binds initiation,
termination, and elongation factors. We have determined the crystal structure of the large …

This overview provides an illustrated, comprehensive survey of some commonly observed
protein‐fold families and structural motifs, chosen for their functional significance. It opens …

One of the most significant biosphere contamination problems worldwide is derived from
heavy metals. Heavy metals can be highly reactive and toxic according to their oxidation …

We describe the high resolution structure of the large ribosomal subunit from Deinococcus
radiodurans (D50S), a gram-positive mesophile suitable for binding of antibiotics and …

The structures of ribosomal proteins and their interactions with RNA have been examined in
the refined crystal structure of the Haloarcula marismortui large ribosomal subunit. The …

We have calculated at 5.0 Å resolution an electron-density map of the large 50S ribosomal
subunit from the bacterium Haloarcula marismortui by using phases derived from four heavy …

p43 is one of the three auxiliary components invariably associated with nine aminoacyl-
tRNA synthetases as a multienzyme complex ubiquitous to all eukaryotic cells from flies to …

Understanding how modifications to the ribosome affect function has implications for
studying ribosome biogenesis, building minimal cells, and repurposing ribosomes for …

Structures of a number of ribosomal proteins have now been determined by crystallography
and NMR, though the complete structure of a ribosomal protein-rRNA complex has yet to be …
