Structure of protein-deficient 50 S ribosomal subunits. Nine core proteins induce the compact conformation of 23 S ribosomal RNA.
The complex of 23 S ribosomal RNA with the nine core proteins L2, L3, L4, L13, L17, L20, L21, L22 and L23 obtained either by the disassembly procedure or by reconstitution has been studied by electron microscopy. This complex is found to be very similar to the intact 50 S subunit both in size and in shape.
