The R form of the flagellar filament was obtained in 2003[1] by fitting a crystallographic model of the monomer[2] into an electron cryomicroscopic density map with resolution as good as 4 Å. The resulting R form monomer, 1ucu, included terminal alpha helices that had to be removed in order to obtain the crystallographic model.
