Crystal structure of T. thermophilus 50S ribosomal protein L1 in complex with helices H76, H77, and H78 of 23S RNA (Protein Data Bank code: 5npm; Kostareva OS, Nevskaya NA, Tishchenko SV, Gabdulkhakov AG, Garber MB, Nikonov SV. 2018. Influence of nonconserved regions of L1 protuberance of Thermus thermophilus ribosome on the affinity of L1 protein to 23s rRNA [in Russian]. Mol Biol [Mosk] 52: 106–111). The RNA backbone is displayed as a red ribbon; bases are shown as blocks with NDB coloring: A—red, C—yellow, G—green, U—cyan; ribosomal protein L1 is shown as a silver ribbon. The image was generated using 3DNA/blocview and PyMol software. Cover image provided by the Nucleic Acid Database (ndbserver.rutgers.edu).
