title: Caught on Camera: Intermediates of Ribosome Recycling.
abstract: Following termination of protein synthesis, bacterial ribosomes are split into subunits by the joint action of elongation factor G and ribosome recycling factor in the process called ribosome recycling. In this issue of Structure, Fu et al. (2016) describe visualization of transient intermediates of ribosome recycling using time-resolved cryogenic electron microscopy.
