Fabs enable single particle cryoEM studies of small proteins.
In spite of its recent achievements, the technique of single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) has not been widely used to study proteins smaller than 100 kDa, although it is a highly desirable application of this technique. One fundamental limitation is that images of small proteins embedded in vitreous ice do not contain adequate features for accurate image alignment. We describe a ge...
متن کاملSingle Particle CryoEM of the Anthrax Toxin Initial Engagement Complex
The lethality of anthrax, a zoonotic disease and bioterrorism agent, is due to the anthrax toxin. This tripartitate toxin consists of protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). The 440 kDa heptameric PA prepore binds up to three molecules of LF, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase protease, and/or EF, an adenylate cyclase. This entire complex, bound to receptor pr...
متن کاملDetermining the 3D orientation of optically trapped upconverting nanorods by in situ single-particle polarized spectroscopy.
An approach to unequivocally determine the three-dimensional orientation of optically manipulated NaYF4:Er(3+),Yb(3+) upconverting nanorods (UCNRs) is demonstrated. Long-term immobilization of individual UCNRs inside single and multiple resonant optical traps allow for stable single UCNR spectroscopy studies. Based on the strong polarization dependent upconverted luminescence of UCNRs it is pos...
متن کاملDetermining Stable Ligand Orientation Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Each and every biological function in living organism occurs due to protein-protein interactions. The diseases are no exception to this. Identifying one or more proteins for a particular disease and then designing a suitable chemical compound (which is known as drug or ligand) to destroy those proteins is a challenging topic of research in computational biology. In earlier methods, drugs were d...
متن کاملSelection and orientation of different particles in single particle imaging.
The short pulses of X-ray free electron lasers can produce diffraction patterns with structural information before radiation damage destroys the particle. The particles are injected into the beam in random orientations and they should be identical. However, in real experimental conditions it is not always possible to have identical particles. In this paper we show that the correlation maximizat...
