Abstract excerpt
Centrally located at the ribosomal subunit interface and mRNA tunnel, helix 69 (H69) from 23S rRNA participates in key steps of translation. Ribosome activity is influenced by three pseudouridine modifications, which modulate the structure and conformational behavior of H69. To understand how H69 is affected by the presence of pseudouridine in combination with sequence changes, the biophysical properties of...
