Ribosome Models

Verschoor et al.
The file MIK001.MOV contains a contoured representation of the ribosome subunit from USER3:[ADRI]3AC100.MIR. The original densities in the file were 0.0884.... 0.133. This representation was contoured at a level of 0.11. It corresponds to the surface representation of the 30S ribosome as shown in Verschoor et al. (1984)

The contour data is given in a text file in MOVIE.BYU format. For each contour, there is a header line giving the number of points on the contour (I10 format), the z level of the contour (E12.5 format) and a label for the contour. This header line is followed by pairs of x, y coordinates for each point on the contour. There are 3 points on each line of the file. The point format is E12.5 for each coordinate.
