5S rRNA from extremely thermophilic bacteria, Thermus thermophilus HB8, was crystallized. Using a vapour diffusion method, single crystals were grown with sufficient sizes for x-ray diffraction study. The crystals belong to space group P3(1)21 (or enatiomorph P3(2)21) with a = 99 A, b = 99 A and c = 360 A. A unit cell contains probably 36 molecules corresponding to 6 molecules/asymmetric unit. A smaller pseudo-lattice seems to be constructed with the same lengths for a- and b-axis, and 120 A for c-axis. Reflections were observed up to 25 A on x-ray photographs.
来自嗜热栖热菌HB8的5S核糖体RNA被结晶出来。采用气相扩散法，生长出了尺寸足够大的用于X射线衍射研究的单晶。这些晶体属于空间群P3(1)21（或对映体P3(2)21），a = 99埃，b = 99埃，c = 360埃。一个晶胞可能包含36个分子，相当于6个分子/不对称单位。似乎构建了一个较小的假晶格，其a轴和b轴长度相同，c轴长度为120埃。在X射线照片上观察到了高达25埃的反射。
