Capturing Enveloped Viruses on Affinity Grids for Downstream Cryo-Electron Tomography Applications
Enveloped viruses are a large population of known viruses that are human and animal pathogens. Therefore, studies to determine the overall architecture and fine ultrastructure of enveloped viruses are essential. All enveloped viruses are covered by a lipid-coat derived from the host cell’s plasma membrane. Due to the processes associated with virus assembly and budding many of them exhibit vary...
متن کاملStructure Determination of Icosahedral Viruses Imaged by Cryo-electron Microscopy
Three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction of icosahedral viruses by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) began with the pioneering work on negatively stained samples in Cambridge, UK. This ushered in a new era for virus structure determination and helped lay a firm foundation for subsequent, near atomic resolution X-ray crystallographic studies of viruses such as tomato bushy stunt and sout...
متن کاملMathematics for cryo - electron microscopy
Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has recently joined X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy as a high-resolution structural method for biological macromolecules. Cryo-EM was selected by Nature Methods as Method of the Year 2015, large scale investments in cryo-EM facilities are being made all over the world, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2017 was awarded to Jacques Dubo...
متن کاملImmunogold Labeling of Cultured Cells and Virus Particles for Electron Microscopy and Cryo-Electron Microscopy Applications
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) were first realized in the early 1980s [1] and mid-1990s [2, 3]. Since then both methods have quickly become a powerful tools in structural biology. The major advantage is that they allow for the acquisition of images of biological specimens persevered in their native state after they are plunge-frozen onto carbon-coated ...
متن کاملCohomology of Cryo-Electron Microscopy
The goal of cryo-electron microscopy (EM) is to reconstruct the 3-dimensional structure of a molecule from a collection of its 2-dimensional projected images. In this paper, we show that the basic premise of cryo-EM—patching together 2-dimensional projections to reconstruct a 3-dimensional object—is naturally one of Čech cohomology with SO(2)-coefficients. We deduce that every cryoEM reconstruc...
