Primary Drug Target
Name30S ribosomal protein S12
Gene NamerpsL
Synonyms30S ribosomal protein S12
General FunctionTranslation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis
Specific FunctionCryo-EM studies suggest that S12 contacts the EF-Tu bound tRNA in the A-site during codon-recognition. This contact is most likely broken as the aminoacyl-tRNA moves into the peptidyl transferase center in the 50S subunit
