Internal Structure of Apoferritin as Revealed by the "Negative Staining Technique."
I t has been surmised that the apoferritin molecule has a hollow center which communicates with the outer surface through some sort of channels or slots (1-2). This inference is based upon the following findings: 1. As determined by means of electron microscopy, the ferric hydroxide (FeOOH) micelles of ferritin molecules are located within spheroids of apoferritin (1) ; 2. In reducing media, su...
متن کاملStructure of a marine bacteriophage as revealed by the negative-staining technique.

Structure of a marine bacteriophage as revealed by the negative-staining technique. J. Bacteriol. 91:819-822. 1966.-The morphology of a marine bacteriophage has been determined by negative-staining techniques and electron microscopy. The virus possesses a head, 600 A in diamet...
متن کاملStructure of Isolated Plant Golgi Apparatus Revealed by Negative Staining
Sucrose-gradient-purified dictyosomes of plant Golgi apparatus appear, after glutaraldehyde stabilization, as stacks of highly fenestrate and tubate cisternae when negatively stained with phosphotungstic acid, shadowed with heavy metal, or OsO(4)-stained in thin section. The tubular proliferations (diameter 200 to 400 A) extend for several microns from the central region and are united at inter...
متن کاملMorphology and structure of lipoproteins revealed by an optimized negative-staining protocol of electron microscopy[S]
Plasma lipoprotein levels are predictors of risk for coronary artery disease. Lipoprotein structure-function relationships provide important clues that help identify the role of lipoproteins in cardiovascular disease. The compositional and conformational heterogeneity of lipoproteins are major barriers to the identification of their structures, as discovered using traditional approaches. Althou...
متن کاملCytoskeletal asymmetrical dumbbell structure of a gliding mycoplasma, Mycoplasma gallisepticum, revealed by negative-staining electron microscopy.
Several mycoplasma species feature a membrane protrusion at a cell pole, and unknown mechanisms provide gliding motility in the direction of the pole defined by the protrusion. Mycoplasma gallisepticum, an avian pathogen, is known to form a membrane protrusion composed of bleb and infrableb and to glide. Here, we analyzed the gliding motility of M. gallisepticum cells in detail. They glided in ...
