The structure reveals how the rRNase domain of colicin binds to the A site of the decoding center in the 70S ribosome and cleaves the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) between A1493 and G1494. The cleavage ...

Ribosomes, the cellular machines that build ... It is made up of about 20 proteins and a ribosomal RNA (known as 16S). The researchers labeled one of those ribosomal proteins.

A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria.

are smaller than ribosomes in eukaryotes. Their large subunit incorporates two rRNAs—23S and 5S—and the small subunit has just one, 16S. In normal protein production, each amino acid has its ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...

Analysis of the packing in different 70S ribosome crystal forms revealed that regardless of the species or space group, a contact between ribosomal protein L9 from the large subunit and 16S rRNA in ...

These microbes play uncertain roles in human disease, but can now be tentatively classified and quantitated by sophisticated molecular methods, such as 16S ribosome pyrosequencing. The ...

"The ribosome has more than 50 different parts ... It is made up of about 20 proteins and a ribosomal RNA (known as 16S). The researchers labeled one of those ribosomal proteins.
