Figure 8.
The 23S rRNA and 5S rRNA as a fine-grained onion. Nucleotides are colored by their distance, in the 3D structure of the LSU, from the site of peptidyl transfer. Nucleotides that are close to the site of peptidyl transfer are dark blue. Nucleotides that are remote from the PTC are red. (a) 2° Structurephylo as an onion. Nucleotides are represented by circles. (b) The 3D structure of the LSU as an onion. The rRNA is in space-filling representation, with rProteins deleted for clarity. (c) 2° Structure3D as an onion. The images in (a) and (c) are presented in independent images in Supplementary Figure S7.
