Figure 7. Stereo-view representation of the 3D model of the 39 S subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome. (a) The interface view of the subunit shows that the conserved interface of the mitochondrial ribosome is still dominated by rRNA structure (colored as in Figure 5). (b) The homologous MRPs (grey) are located predominantly towards the solvent-accessible side of the particle. Upper and lower panels in both sections show the modeled structure (rRNA and proteins), and its fitting into the cryo-EM map,13 respectively.
