Within the framework of ribosomal crystallography, the small subunits are being analyzed, using crystals diffracting to 3 A resolution. The medium resolution electron density map of this subunit, obtained by multiple isomorphous replacement, show recognizable morphologies, strikingly similar to the functional active conformer of the small ribosomal subunit. It contains elongated dense features, traceable as RNA chains as well as globular regions into which the structures determined for isolated ribosomal proteins, or other known structural motifs were fitted. To facilitate unbiased map interpretation, metal clusters are being covalently attached either to the surface of the subunits or to DNA oligomers complementary to exposed ribosomal RNA. Two surface cysteines and the 3' end of the 16S ribosomal RNA have been localized. Targeting several additional RNA regions shed light on their relative exposure and confirmed previous studies concerning their functional relevance.
