What is it about?

We have analyzed the structural and physicochemical properties of protein-protein (PP), protein-RNA (PR) and RNA-RNA (RR) interfaces in small and large subunits of ribosomes, as well as in between the two subunits. Additionally, we have also developed Random Forest (RF) classifier to catalog the r-proteins.

Why is it important?

Interactions between macromolecules play a crucial role in ribosome assembly that follows a highly coordinated process involving RNA folding and binding of ribosomal proteins (r-proteins). we have used Random Forest (RF) classifier to catalog the r-proteins in the ribosomal assemblies that support the hypothesis that large PR interfaces form first and promote the assembly to a higher order.

Perspectives

This article might help the researchers in understanding on how the macromolecular interaction networks stabilize the ribosomal assemblies.
