title: [Identification of RNA-recognizing modules on the surface of ribosomal proteins].
abstract: Properties of specific interaction between ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNAs were analyzed and a method for determination of "recognizing modules" on the protein surface was proposed. The method is based on the search of protein atoms making conserved H-bonds with RNA and forming an invariant spatial structure in homologous rRNA-protein complexes and in the isolated protein. A potential of the method is demonstrated on the determination of the recognizing modules on the surfaces of ribosomal proteins S8, S15 and L5.
