Abstract Individual particle analysis of end views from negatively stained specimensof purified GroEL from Escherichia coli showed the presence of two different particle populations, those with a six-fold symmetry and those with a seven-fold symmetry, when studied at pH 7.7 and 5.0. Image processing of particles from frozen-hydrated specimens revealed at both pH values a homogeneous population of particles with a strong seven-fold symmetry component and an average image with seven asymmetric units. Biochemical analysis of purified GroEL showed unequivocally the presence of a single polypeptide with the N-terminal sequence identical to that of GroEL. These results are compatible with a structural model of GroEL as an asymmetric aggregate built up by two rings of seven-fold and six-fold symmetries, respectively.
