Spacefilling model of the 70S ribosome. The structure of the Hma large subunit (Ban et al. 2000) and that of the T. thermophilus small subunit (Wimberly et al. 2000) were docked using the rRNA from the Noller model (Yusupov et al. 2001) of the 70S as well as the A, P, and E site tRNAs from that model. The 23S rRNA and 5S r RNA are in pink and white whereas the 16S rRNA is in light and dark yellow. rProteins of the large subunit are blue and those of the small subunit are green. The A-site tRNA with its 3' end extending into the peptidyl transferase cavity is red and the P-site tRNA is yellow.
