Recently, using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and single-particle three-dimensional reconstruction techniques, the binding position of EF-G on the naked ribosome (that is, devoid of mRNA and ...

LMU structural biologist Roland Beckmann, in collaboration with researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry and the Institut Pasteur (Paris), has now shown that there is a direct ...

The 3D electron microscopy imaging is available using Serial Block Face (SB-EM) and Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM) or Electron Tomography (ET) Electron tomography is TEM based ...

Ribosomes are found floating in the cell cytosol, cellular organelles such as mitochondria or the protoplasm of bacteria. Using electron microscopy, Kummer and her colleagues Giang Nguyen and ...

It is a beautiful piece of work. It provides a serious piece of heft to the hypothesis that specialized ribosomes not only exist but have important functional consequences in cellular processes.
