After washing, bound proteins were eluted with a 1000-fold excess of the corresponding epitope peptide and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The polypeptide composition of the isolated complexes were verified either on silver-stained SDS-PAGE gels or by protein immunoblots as described (1, 8).

After 2 min of adsorption, the grid was negatively stained with a 2% uranyl acetate solution. The images were formed on a Philips CM120 Transmission Electron Microscope operating at 100 kV and were analyzed as described (16).

26. The 3D models were calculated from conical tilt series produced by recording the same field of molecules at 60° and 0° tilt. Molecular images were extracted from the untilted micrographs, aligned, and classified into homogeneous groups to identify subpopulations of similarly oriented particles. Tilt and in-plane rotation parameters yield the Euler angles for each tilted view, about 100 of which were merged by filtered back-projection to calculate the 3D molecular envelope.
