Fig. 2. The H. marismortui large ribosomal subunit in the rotated crown view. The L7/L12 stalk is to the right, the L1 stalk is to the left, and the central protuberance (CP) is at the top. In this view, the surface of the subunit that interacts with the small subunit faces the reader. RNA is shown in gray in a pseudo-space-filling rendering. The backbones of the proteins visible are rendered in gold. The Yarus inhibitor bound to the peptidyl transferase site of the subunit is indicated in green (64). The particle is approximately 250 Å across.
