The scientists were able to benefit from advancements in the field of electron microscopy and capture images of the mitochondrial ribosome at a level of resolution never achieved before.

Instead, they used single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy, where a large number of single particles are imaged at very low temperatures in an electron microscope.

To address this issue, researchers have developed a new image-processing method for electron microscope images that selectively enhances the visibility of areas in which rubber molecules aggregate ...

Two new studies reveal how the ribosome interacts with other molecules to assemble new proteins and guide them toward their destination in biological cells.

Scientists are reporting the first 3-D images of an individual protein ever obtained with enough clarity to determine its structure.

A high-resolution 2D electron microscopy image of a cell might show the nucleus surfacing in the cytoplasmic sea or a cross section of the nucleus decorated with a few polyribosomes. However, a 3D ...

Advanced microscopy techniques have revealed how ribosomes recruit to mRNA while it's being transcribed, potentially enabling the development of new antibiotics that target this pathway in bacteria.

Here, we present a cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) study, at a resolution of ∼ 9 Å, showing that during the incorporation of the aa-tRNA into the 70S ribosome of Escherichia coli, the ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy shows that the Trypanosoma brucei kinetoplastid ribosome is characterized by the presence of large expansion segments, ribosomal-protein extensions and ...

Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and illustrations of cast cockroach egg case impressions from Japanese archaeological sites. a: SEM images, a’: illustrations of SEM images, b ...

A workbench for molecular reconstruction To process and reconstruct the cryo-EM images, Frank developed SPIDER, a modular image processing program and the first of its kind in electron microscopy, ...

This picture is composed of 4,225 scanning electron microscope images. It shows a microchip based on 65-nanometre technology. This means that the smallest structure on the chip that can be ...
