We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description
Ribosomal protein L16 is one of the proteins from the large ribosomal subunit. In Escherichia coli, L16 is known to bind directly the 23S rRNA and to be located at the A site of the peptidyltransferase center. It belongs to a family of ribosomal proteins which, on the basis of sequence similarities [1], groups:
- Eubacterial L16.
- Algal and plant chloroplast L16.
- Cyanelle L16.
- Plant mitochondrial L16.
L16 is a protein of 133 to 185 amino-acid residues. As signature patterns, we selected two conserved regions in the central section of these proteins.
