Ligand complex structures in protein crystallography

The Growing Role of Electron Crystallography in Structural Biology

The use of the electron microscope to determine the structure of complex biological macromolecules is now advancing at a rapid pace. When well-ordered, two-dimensional crystals are available, high resolution density maps can be obtained that are interpretable in atomic detail. The determination of the structure of tubulin provides a recent example of how electron crystallography has been used t...

Structural studies of the scrapie prion protein by electron crystallography.

Because the insolubility of the scrapie prion protein (PrP(Sc)) has frustrated structural studies by x-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, we used electron crystallography to characterize the structure of two infectious variants of the prion protein. Isomorphous two-dimensional crystals of the N-terminally truncated PrP(Sc) (PrP 27-30) and a miniprion (PrP(Sc)106) were identified by negati...
