Abstract:
:The large ribosomal subunit of the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus was reconstructed in three dimensions from electron micrographs. This is the first reported reconstruction of the eukaryotic complex and demonstrates specific structural features such as an intersubunit canyon and a potential channel for the nascent peptide chain.
