Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence indicate that the universally conserved 530 loop of 16S ribosomal RNA plays a crucial role in translation, related to the binding of tRNA to the ribosomal A site. Based upon limited phylogenetic sequence variation, Woese and Gutell (1989) have proposed that residues 524-526 in the 530 hairpin loop are base paired with residues 505-507 in an adjoining bulge loop, suggesting that this...
