Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) is currently undergoing a revolution due to the recent development of a new generation of detectors using the complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) technology (Kuhlbrandt, 2014).
Electron cryo-microscopy was performed on a transmission electron microscope (TEM) operated at 300 kV (Titan Krios, FEI, Hillsboro, OR) in parallel illumination mode. The structure of a voltage-activated potassium channel in lipid nanodiscs solved using cryo-electron microscopy is similar to previous X-ray structures, and provides insights into the mechanism of C-type inactivation. Relion-3 calculates single-particle reconstructions to higher resolution and with less user-interactions than previously available versions. Single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) has now proved to be the method of choice for determining the structure of biological macromolecules and complexes. Using cryo-electron microscopy and single-particle analysis, we have obtained the structure of the complete RNA polymerase from E.coli containing the sigma54 factor within the closed-promoter complex.

Gβγ proteins were purified from membrane fractions with Ni-NTA resin as described previously (33). The fractions containing Gβγ were pooled and applied to a Superdex 200 column in a buffer containing 20 mM Hepes (pH 8), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT… Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) is currently undergoing a revolution due to the recent development of a new generation of detectors using the complementary metal-oxide semiconductors (CMOS) technology (Kuhlbrandt, 2014). The structure of a large enzyme complex involved in methanogenesis was determined at high resolution by electron cryo-microscopy. Improvements in the technique that have made this breakthrough possible – a technique known as single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM; Doerr, 2016) – are a very welcome addition to the other structural tools used in biochemistry… Building on previous work in cryo-electron microscopy (Entchev et al, 2015), it shown that a combination of the Volta phase plate and a small amount of defocus can simplify the experimental set-up, increase the data acquisition rate and… Chen 2018 - Read online for free.

Articulo In cryo-electron microscopy, resolution is typically measured by the Fourier shell correlation (FSC), a three-dimensional extension of the Fourier ring correlation (FRC), which is also known as the spatial frequency correlation function.

Davies 1 Although electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) single-particle analysis has become an important tool for structural biology of large and flexible macro-molecular assemblies, the technique has not yet reached its full potential. Thus, to define subunit arrangement and stoichiometry, and elucidate the molecular architecture of ENaC inhibition, we determined the structure of ENaC in the uncleaved state by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Structural insights into the architecture and functional properties of zebrafish TRPC4 are revealed by high-resolution cryo-EM. Single particle analysis is a group of related computerized image processing techniques used to analyze images from transmission electron microscopy (TEM). These methods were developed to improve and extend the information obtainable from… Atomic resolution models for proteins and protein complexes are usually obtained using X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, and in selected instances, by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of ordered protein assemblies. We showed that cryo-SOFI, in comparison with conventional cryo-FM, is especially powerful for imaging structures in thicker parts of the cell due to its ability to suppress out-of-focus signals, thus achieving optical sectioning.
