An image from the Astbury PI image library3D reconstruction of mono-ubiquitinated actin filaments. Shown are ubiquitinated actin, control actin and the difference map, revealing the ubiquitin. These were calculated from cryo-EM images with a new image processing method. Taken from Burgess et al J Mol Biol 341, 2004.
