Importance of potassium ions for ribosome structure and function revealed by long-wavelength x-ray diffraction

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Alexey Rozov from the Centre de Strasbourg, Illkirch, FranceFederal University have published the research: Importance of potassium ions for ribosome structure and function revealed by long-wavelength X-ray diffraction, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: The authors demonstrate experimental identification and localization of potassium ions within the full 70S ribosome structure using diffraction data collected at long wavelengths, below (λ=3.542 Å, E=3.5 keV) and above (λ=3.351 Å, E=3.7 keV) the potassium K absorption edge. The authors demonstrate how K+ (but not Mg2+) coordinates mRNA within the decoding . . .
