Abstract excerpt
Interactions within the decoding center of the 30 S ribosomal subunit have been investigated by constructing all 15 possible mutations at nucleotides C1402 and A1500 in helix 44 of 16 S rRNA. As expected, most of the mutations resulted in highly deleterious phenotypes, consistent with the high degree of conservation of this region and its functional importance. A total of seven mutants were viable under...
