The mRNA channel. In this view, the 16SrRNA is tilted relative to the view in Figure 6, to show the position of the mRNA (green) and the invariant nucleotides flanking the mRNA. The mRNA is removed in the right-hand panel to reveal the universally conserved G530, A1492, A1493, G926, and C1054, which are among the few 16S rRNA bases that directly contact the mRNA.
