Abstract Experimental results of three-dimensional reconstructions of individual fatty acid synthetase (FAS) molecules are reported. The discussion of the structures has been concentrated on the symmetry relations within the molecules. A molecular structure with 6 copies arranged in point group 32 is probable. The limits of minimal radiation dose reconstruction are estimated.
