| Abstract: | Electron microscopy was applied to thin crystals of yeast tRNAPhe. The crystals embedded in glucose yield Bragg reflections with a spacing smaller than 4 A. The measurement of radiation damage rate demonstrates that they are 4 to 14 times less susceptible to electron exposures than protein crystals embedded in glucose. |
