High-Resolution Structure and Internal Mobility of a Plant 40S Ribosomal Subunit.

Ribosome is a major part of the protein synthesis machinery, and analysis of its structure is of paramount importance. However, the structure of ribosomes from only a limited number of organisms has been resolved to date; it especially concerns plant ribosomes and ribosomal subunits. Here, we report a high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of the small subunit of the
