3D reconstruction of the 80S ribosome (data set EMPIAR-10028). (a) Surface representation of the low-pass-filtered ribosome after power-spectrum adjustment with a Gaussian high-pass filter. The structure has multiple flexible surface components and there is a residual ratchet movement of the 40S subunit (the left part of the structure in the orientation shown). (b) A generous mask used during structure refinement fills 11.5% of the volume. (c) A tight mask that typically would be used for resolution assessment fills 6.5% of the volume. (d) A very tight mask following the outline of the structure and eliminating the most flexible regions and any solvent noise fills 0.6% of the volume. |
