Crystal and solution structures of fourteen ribosomal proteins from th
ermophilic bacteria have been determined during the last decade, This
paper reviews structural studies of ribosomal proteins from Thermus th
ermophilus carried out at the Institute of Protein Research (Pushchino
, Russia) in collaboration with the University of Lund (Lund, Sweden)
and the Center of Structural Biochemistry (Karolinska Institute, Huddi
nge, Sweden). New experimental data on the crystal structure of the ri
bosomal protein L30 from T. thermophilus are also included.
