Structure of a conserved RNA component of the peptidyl transferase centre

Nature Structural Biology volume 4, pages 775–778 (1997)Cite this article

The structure of a conserved hairpin loop involved in peptidyl–tRNA recognition by SOS ribosomal subunits has been solved by NMR. The loop is closed by a novel G–C base pair and presents guanine residues for RNA recognition.
