Recent advances in transmission electron microscopy (EM) hardware, low-temperature methods and image-processing software have made cryo-EM an important complement to X-ray crystallography and NMR for macromolecular structure determination, particularly of large assemblies. This review provides a summary of the main advances and a survey of the capabilities of this approach.
透射电子显微镜(EM)硬件、低温方法和图像处理软件的最新进展,使冷冻电镜成为X射线晶体学和核磁共振用于大分子结构测定,特别是大型组装体结构测定的重要补充。本文综述了该方法的主要进展,并对其能力进行了概述。
