| Research Abstract |
Some modified nucleotides in the first letter of a tRNA anticodon is known to expand the codon recognition ability. I planed to reveal the mechanism based on the three-dimensional structure of the codon-anticodon basepair in the 70S ribosome.
In this study, I have succeeded to establish a reproducible method of 70S ribosome preparation for highly diffracted crystals. Once good crystals are obtained, technical improvements are required in the following steps: refinement of crystallization condition, less damage for crystals during harvesting, and strategy of data collection at an atomic resolution.
