| Imaging Details | Cryo-grids containing purified PR- Ty3 particles were imaged in a Titan Krios electron microscope equipped with a Falcon II direct electron detector, operated at 300 kV. Images were collected with a nominal magnification of 75000, giving a pixel size of 1.08 A. Images were collected in integrating mode with a total electron dose of 20 e/A2. The range of applied defocus values was between -1.0 um and -3.5 um. |
