متن کاملCryo-electron tomography of rubella virus.
Rubella virus is the only member of the Rubivirus genus within the Togaviridae family and is the causative agent of the childhood disease known as rubella or German measles. Here, we report the use of cryo-electron tomography to examine the three-dimensional structure of rubella virions and compare their structure to that of Ross River virus, a togavirus belonging the genus Alphavirus. The ecto...
متن کاملCryo-electron Tomography of Whole Cells
Cryo-electron tomography was used for studying the molecular organization of the cytoplasm in intact cells. Flat areas of cells grown on EM grids and preserved by rapid freezing within milliseconds were imaged in 3D. In the resulting maps the selected morphological and structural features were analyzed at unprecedented detail, and frequently correlated to lightmicroscopy images. We portray here...
متن کاملCryo-electron tomography of vaccinia virus.
The combination of cryo-microscopy and electron tomographic reconstruction has allowed us to determine the structure of one of the more complex viruses, intracellular mature vaccinia virus, at a resolution of 4-6 nm. The tomographic reconstruction allows us to dissect the different structural components of the viral particle, avoiding projection artifacts derived from previous microscopic obser...
متن کاملDynamics of antibodies from cryo-electron tomography.
The issue of protein dynamics and its implications in the biological function of proteins are arousing greater and greater interest in molecular biology. In cryo-electron tomography experiments one takes several snapshots of a given biological macromolecule. In principle, a large enough collection of snapshots may then be used to calculate its equilibrium configuration in terms of the experimen...
