Cryo-electron microscopy has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to infect Staphylococcus epidermidis, and high ...

When the Empire State Building was constructed, its 102 stories rose above midtown one piece at a time, with each individual ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

Cryo-electron microscopy by University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers has exposed the structure of a bacterial virus with unprecedented detail. This is the first structure of a virus able to ...

Scientists have mapped the molecular structure of glutamate receptors in the cerebellum for the first time using cryo-electron microscopy.

There are a lot of situations where a research group may turn to an electron microscope to get information about whatever system they might be studying. Assessing the structure of a virus or ...

Researchers used advanced microscopy to uncover important protein structures. For the first time, two important protein ...

However, no electron density was seen for an unusual 130 Å-long coiled-coil domain predicted by AlphaFold2. When that was replaced by a short linker, the researchers were able to determine a 3.0 Å ...

Germany, have developed a new method that makes it possible for the first time to image the three-dimensional shape of ...

Electron microscopes use a beam of accelerated electrons to illuminate an object, providing much higher resolution than a light microscope. Cryo-electron microscopy adds the element of super-cold ...
