Figure 2. Intersubunit bridges of the ribosome.

Figure 2

Bridge components (blue spheres) of the 30S (A) or 50S (B) subunit are shown from the interface perspective. Space-filling models of the tRNAs are shown semi-transparent so the bridges remain visible. mRNA (black) is bound to the 30S neck region between the head and body domains. Color scheme is otherwise the same as in Fig. 1. CP, central protuberance. This figure was generated in PyMol using PDB entries 2WDK and 2WDL 39.
