Figure 7.
Fig. 7. Intersubunit bridges B2a and B4. (A) Minor-groove interactions between H69 and h44 and h45, broken down by region. Atoms within hydrogen-bonding distance, as mentioned in the text, are connected by dashed lines. (B) Molecular interactions in bridge B4. Protein S15 in the 30S subunit is in blue, with relevant side chains in green. The interaction is viewed from the left side of Fig. 5A (left) and from the right side of Fig. 5A (right). Electron density is visible for the side chain of Arg88 (R88) in ribosome II, but not in ribosome I. Other amino acid abbreviations: I, Ile; L, Leu; V, Val; A, Ala; Q, Gln.
