Structure of free Thermus flavus 5 S rRNA at 1.3 nm resolution from synchrotron X-ray solution scattering.
The shape of free Thermus flavus 5 S rRNA in solution at 1.3 nm resolution is restored from synchrotron x-ray scattering data using an ab initio simulated annealing algorithm. The free 5 S rRNA is a bent elongated molecule displaying a compact central region and two projecting arms, similar to those of the tRNA. The atomic models of the 5 S rRNA domains A-D-E and B-C in the form of elongated he...
متن کاملFollowing the dynamics of changes in solvent accessibility of 16 S and 23 S rRNA during ribosomal subunit association using synchrotron-generated hydroxyl radicals.
We have probed the structure and dynamics of ribosomal RNA in the Escherichia coli ribosome using equilibrium and time-resolved hydroxyl radical (OH) RNA footprinting to explore changes in the solvent-accessible surface of the rRNA with single-nucleotide resolution. The goal of these studies is to better understand the structural transitions that accompany association of the 30 S and 50 S subun...
متن کاملStructure of the 70 S ribosome: implications for movement.
The ribosome is a complex molecular machine, with moving parts, many of which are structural elements of rRNA. We compared the X-ray crystal structures of three different functional states of the 30 S ribosomal subunit - two from crystal structures of the isolated 30 S subunit from the Ramakrishnan group and one from a complex of the 70 S ribosome. Even though all three structures are in what c...
متن کاملCrystal Structure and Nanoparticles of Dinuclear Silver(I) Complex [Ag2(PPh3)2(μ-S-4nb-tsc)2(η1-S-4nb-tsc)2](NO3)2
Nanoparticles of a new dinuclear silver(I) complex [Ag2(PPh3)2(μ-S-4nb-tsc)2(η1-S-4nb-tsc)2](NO3)2, where 4nb-tsc = 4-nitrobenzylidenethiosemicarbazone and PPh3 = triphenylphosphine, were prepared in an ultrasonic bath and characterized by FT-IR and SEM. The crystal structure of a suitable single crystal prepared by slow evaporation was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compou...
متن کاملScreening of Potentially Probiotic Lactobacillus Possessing Surface Layer Protein from Iranian Traditional Dairy Products
One of the most commonly observed surface structures on the prokaryotic cell envelopes is monomolecular crystalline array of proteinaceous subunits termed Surface Layers or S-layers. Due their self assembly ability and the highly ordered, regular structure down to the nanometer scale, S-layers were demonstrated to possess a great potential for nanobiotechnological applications. Some probiotic b...
