The bacterial A site in the ‘off’ state. (a) Secondary structure and stereoview. (b–h) Atomic details of each base pair of the A site. Three universally conserved adenine residues, A1408, A1492 and A1493, are colored in orange, blue and red, respectively. Two nucleotides different from those in the mitochondrial A site, U1490 and G1491, are colored in cyan and green, respectively. The hydrogen bonds are represented by black dashed lines.
