Both the small and large subunits of the ribosome, the molecular machine that synthesizes proteins, are complexes of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and a number of proteins. In bacteria, the small subunit has a single 16S rRNA whose folding is the first step... Read More about Shape changes and cooperativity in the folding of central domain of the 16S ribosomal RNA.
