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 full-length R form monomer, 1ucu, included terminal alpha helices that were absent in the crystallographic model.
