Refinement Protocol RIGID BODY FIT
Refinement Target X-ray coordinates of the 30S ribosomal subunit and ERA were fitted into the 13.5 angstroms resolution CRYO-EM map of the T. Thermophilus 30S subunit-ERA complex. the atomic structure of ERA was fitted as 3 rigid bodies, N-terminal domain, C-terminal domain and C-terminal helix within the C-terminal domain. The resultant ERA structure was then energy minimized. The X-ray coordinates of T. Thermophilus 30S subunit was fitted as 4 rigid bodies, head, body, platform and 16S rRNA 3' minor domains. Only the coordinates of the 16S rRNA 3' minor domain and ERA are included HERE. The KH domain of ERA makes direct contact with the 3' terminus of the 16S rRNA.
