Stabilization of Ribosomal RNA of the Small Subunit by Spermidine in Staphylococcus aureus
Cryo-electron microscopy is now used as a method of choice in structural biology for studying protein synthesis, a process mediated by the ribosome machinery. In order to achieve high-resolution structures using this approach, one needs to obtain homogeneous and stable samples, which requires optimi...
