摘要
`Microscopic visualization of nucleic acid-protein complexes provides a means of obtaining structural information that is difficult to obtain in any other way, and of verifying conclusions derived from other approaches. The polymorphic, flexible, and irregular nature of these complexes presents particular problems in their analysis. (C) Current Biology Ltd.
