Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus stearothermophilus ribosomal protein S15 binds to a phylogenetically conserved three-way junction formed by the intersection of helices 20, 21, and 22 of eubacterial 16S ribosomal RNA, inducing a large conformational change in the RNA. Like many RNA structures, this three-way junctio...
