title: The structure and dynamics of ribosomal protein L12.
abstract: The protein L12 in bacterial ribosomes is essential for the proper function of a number of factors involved in protein synthesis. The protein is mostly described in terms of a rigid structure despite the repeated observation of high flexibility. This paper gives a review of the structure and flexibility of L12 in relation to its function.
