Structure determination of dynamic macromolecular molecular machines and elucidating their conformational landscapes are fundamental tasks of structural biology. The ribosome as a paradigmatic macromolecular machine interacts with numerous ligands and factors throughout its functional cycles, which in turn are driven and regulated by various conformational modes. Project DeepRibosome proposes a new way to perform structural studies. It is based on our recent finding that E. coli ex-vivo derived polysomes carrying the translatome can be efficiently reactivated in the PURE in vitro translation system. Cryo-EM of actively translating ribosomes results in comprehensive structural landscapes.…
