Abstract excerpt
There are a large number of tertiary contacts between nucleotides in 23S rRNA, but which are of functional importance is not known. Disruption of one between A2662 in the sarcin/ricin loop (SRL) and A2531 in the peptidyl-transferase center (PTC) has adverse effects on cell growth and on the ability of ribosomes to catalyze some but not other partial reactions of elongation. A lethal A2662C mutation is suppressed...
