The 70S is so large that the small paromomycin molecule is not readily obvious, and so here the view zooms in and paromomycin is highlighted by making the ribosome partially translucent.
Returning to the initial scene of the full ribosome now aware of the locale where paromomycinin is bound, it is clear that in the Thermus 70S paromomycin is observed binding to the penultimate helix of the small subunit (helix 44) at the decoding center where the anticodon stem-loop of the A-site tRNA contacts the mRNA (shown as yellow).
NEED TO DO STILL: Add the e. coli 70S that has two molecules bound
About these Structure
2j00 is a 25 chains structure of sequences from Escherichia coli and Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
2j01 is a 31 chains structure of sequences from Thermus thermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. Versions of 2j00 and 2j01 optimized for use online as described here are used on this page. You may wish to examine the ADD LINK basics of the subunit.
