New Imaging Method Takes on Molecular Mixtures

Caption

Ribosomes churn out new proteins within a cell and are, themselves, intricate blends of RNA and protein. A multi-institutional collaboration has now solved the structure of a crucial piece of the ribosome as it assembles. This new study shows that it will be possible to examine other large, dynamic molecules with new high-resolution imaging methods.
