    Abstract:
    X-ray scattering titrations at 21 degree C and in ribosomal reconstitution buffer indicate that the S4-RNA and the protein S4 from a 1:1 complex with a stability constant, log K approximately 6.5. When the complex forms, there is only a limited change in the scattering curve indicating that S4-RNA essentially retains its conformation during the complex formation. The increase in the gyration radius as a result of the complex formation, delta R = 4 +/- 3 A, as well as the experimental scattering curve of the complex can be explained by models where the protein S4 is supposed to interact with the periphery of the S4-RNA.
