Crystal Structure of an Inosine-Cytosine Wobble Base Pair in the Context of the Decoding Center
|
Overview
Here we report the crystal structures of I.C and I.A wobble base pairs in, the context of the ribosomal decoding center, clearly showing that the I.A, base pair is of an I(anti).A(anti) conformation, as predicted by Crick., Additionally, the structures enable the observation of changes in the, anticodon to allow purine-purine base pairing, the 'widest' base pair, geometry allowed in the wobble position.
About this Structure
1XNR is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Thermus thermophilus with PAR, MG and ZN as ligands. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
