Abstract
A 3-dimensional image of tubulin protofilaments, reconstructed to 20 .ANG. resolution from EM of negatively stained Zn-induced sheets, was used to generate an improved model for microtubule substructure. This model was used to generate an improved model for microtubule substructure. This model was used to phase a reconstructed image from X-ray amplitudes, which is compatible with the EM results.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
