Resolving the geometry of biomolecules imaged by cryo electron tomography.
In this paper, we describe two methods for computerized analysis of cryo electron tomography reconstructions of biomolecules. Both methods aim at quantifying the degree of structural flexibility of macromolecules and eventually resolving the inner dynamics through automatized protocols. The first method performs a Brownian dynamics evolution of a simplified molecular model into a fictitious for...
متن کاملAutomated acquisition of cryo-electron micrographs for single particle reconstruction on an FEI Tecnai electron microscope.
AutoEM is a software package developed by Zhang et al. [J. Struct. Biol. 1356, 251] for semi-automated acquisition of cryo-electron micrographs from Tecnai series electron microscopes and is used frequently at the lowest level of automation. We report here on the new progress that we have made based on their preliminary work. A fourth low-dose state is created where the system can pre-select al...
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 کاملStained Pectin as Seen in the Electron Microscope
This paper describes electron microscopic studies on the distribution of pectin within young plant cells. Dark-grown onion roots, from 1 to 3 mm. in length, were used. In order to make the pectic substances selectively dense to electrons, they were first reacted with basic hydroxylamine. This treatment produces pectic hydroxamic acids, which in turn were treated with ferric ion to form insolubl...
متن کاملthe scanning electron microscope
it is only thirteen years since the scanning electron microscope has been available commercially. yet, even in this short period of time, this instrument has been a powerful tool in the investigation of topography, electrical and magnetic properties, crystal structure, cathodoluminescent characteristics etc. of solid specimens. today, this type of microscope has opened its place alongside the c...
