From: Hydrogen bonding and packing density are factors most strongly connected to limiting sites of high flexibility in the 16S rRNA in the 30S ribosome

Figure 1

Locations of reactive and unreactive sites for UV-induced photocrosslinking in the 30S structure. A. Sites of observed UV-induced photocrosslinks. The E. coli II structure [13] is used for the figure. The orientation of the 30S subunit in this and the subsequent figures is of the subunit interface side facing the viewer. The 30S head is upwards. RNA and proteins are represented with yellow and orange ribbons, respectively. The nucleotides involved in photocrosslinking are drawn in black. B. Sites of potential but unreactive sites for UV-induced photocrosslinking. The figure contains the 714 nucleotide pairs found in the E. coli II structure that should be suitable for reaction. The figures were prepared with the program Ribbons [52].
