Structure of a bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit at 5.5 A resolution

Article Abstract:

The structure of the 30S ribosomal subunit is presented, based on an electron-density map at 5.5 A resolution. Double-helical RNA and alpha-helices and Beta sheets of proteins can be identified at this resolution and seven 30S-subunit ribosomal proteins and a large portion of double-stranded RNA helices were fitted into density.
