*RNA helices of the large and small ribosomal subunits are identified by "H" and "h," respectively. In brackets, we have shown the residue for each rRNA helix that were among numerous other residues identified by the HRP, and were found closest to the respective RRF probe positions by our cryo-EM study.
†
Strong, medium, and weak HRP cleavage intensities relate to the probing position within 25, 35, and 50 Å radius, respectively (1).‡
