Abstract

A 3-D reconstruction of the regular surface layer of the bacterium Sporosarcina ureae was performed with negatively stained preparations. Particular attention was paid to two major sources of artifacts that may cause problems in the interpretion and comparison of 3-D reconstructions: effects created by missing information due to limited tilting ("missing cone"), and distortions of the protein due to adsorption to the carbon support.
