| Abstract: | Small ribosomal subunits from rat liver have been studied by electron microscopy using freeze-drying and high-resolution shadow casting. The absolute hand of the asymmetric subunit has been determined and its three-dimensional model with a 'right' location of the side protuberance has been constructed. The results evidence that pro- and eukaryotic ribosomes have a unique and principally similar structural organization. |
