Morphology of Influenza B/Lee/40 Determined by Cryo-Electron Microscopy
Cryo-electron microscopy projection image analysis and tomography is used to describe the overall architecture of influenza B/Lee/40. Algebraic reconstruction techniques with utilization of volume elements (blobs) are employed to reconstruct tomograms of this pleomorphic virus and distinguish viral surface spikes. The purpose of this research is to examine the architecture of influenza type B v...
متن کاملMacromolecular structure determination by cryo-electron microscopy.
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.
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...
متن کاملNanoscale Flexibility Parameters of Alzheimer Amyloid Fibrils Determined by Electron Cryo-Microscopy**
Amyloid fibrils are fibrillar polypeptide aggregates consisting of a cross-b structure. The rigidity and stability of these fibrils contributes to their natural pathogenicity or functionality and has suggested potential applications in bionanotechnology. Yet, amyloid fibrils can occur in different morphologies with unique mechanical and flexible characteristics. Herein, we use electron cryo-mic...
متن کاملStructure of the mitochondrial ATP synthase from Pichia angusta determined by electron cryo-microscopy.
The structure of the intact monomeric ATP synthase from the fungus, Pichia angusta, has been solved by electron cryo-microscopy. The structure provides insights into the mechanical coupling of the transmembrane proton motive force across mitochondrial membranes in the synthesis of ATP. This mechanism requires a strong and integral stator, consisting of the catalytic α3β3-domain, peripheral stal...
