Abstract
The 50S ribosomal component from E. coli was examined by electron microscopy. In frozen-dried, tungsten-shadowed preparations, such particles have surface features that probably develop from a coiled nucleoprotein filament 35 A in diameter. A wire model, consistent with the observed features and their interpretation, is offered as a tentative approximation of the nucleoprotein coil.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
