14. 260/ml concentration of the sample Two sets of ribosome projections were obtained by cryoelectron microscopy (Philips EM 420). A total of 855 projections were obtained with 2.0-μm defocus and a total of 1636 projections were obtained with 2.5-μm defocus. The angles were determined with the use of a projection matching procedure (24) with the control (5) Two volumes were calculated, one for each set of projections at 2.0-μm and 2.5-μm defocus, respectively, and combined by means of a contrast transfer function (CTF) correction procedure (J. Zhu, P. Penczek, R. Schröder, J. Frank, in preparation). The difference map was formed by subtraction of the control reconstruction of the naked ribosome (5) from the new merged reconstruction of the ribosome-tRNA compiex.
