Shape of the 50S subunit of Escherichia coli ribosomes. 1977

H B Stuhrmann, and M H Koch, and R Parfait, and J Haas, and K Ibel, and R R Crichton

Extrapolation of a series of low-angle neutron scattering curves to infinitely high contrast gives a scattering function IC(kappa) which is dependent on the shape of the solute molecule. For the 50S subunit of E. coli ribosomes, the first part of the structure determination by neutron scattering, namely the determination of the molecular shape from IC(kappa), is reported. The result is in good agreement with models of the 50S subunit determined by electron microscopy.

D009502 Neutrons Electrically neutral elementary particles found in all atomic nuclei except light hydrogen; the mass is equal to that of the proton and electron combined and they are unstable when isolated from the nucleus, undergoing beta decay. Slow, thermal, epithermal, and fast neutrons refer to the energy levels with which the neutrons are ejected from heavier nuclei during their decay. Neutron
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
