STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY The 3.8 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of Zika virus
The recent rapid spread of Zika virus and its unexpected linkage to birth defects and an autoimmune neurological syndrome have generated worldwide concern. Zika virus is a flavivirus like the dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile viruses.We present the 3.8 angstrom resolution structure of mature Zika virus, determined by cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM).The structure of Zika virus is similar to...
متن کاملCross-validation in cryo-EM-based structural modeling.
Single-particle cryo-EM is a powerful approach to determine the structure of large macromolecules and assemblies thereof in many cases at subnanometer resolution. It has become popular to refine or flexibly fit atomic models into density maps derived from cryo-EM experiments. These density maps are typically significantly lower in resolution than electron density maps obtained from X-ray diffra...
متن کاملStructural analysis of the spliceosomal complexes by cryo-EM
Keywords: membrane proteins; dynamic structure To understand the molecules we not only need to see how they look like, i.e. to determine their high-resolution static structures, we also need to know and understand how they move, we need to study their motions. In the course of our recent studies we have established an NMR spectroscopy-based approach to determine the dynamic structures of mammal...
متن کاملWhere is biology taking us?
We in the United States have always held institutionalized education in high respect and, second only to our Soviet friends, have looked to it to solve all manner of individual and social evils. As it becomes more and more capable of actually doing so, its prestige must necessarily increase concomitantly. What, then, are the probable consequences of the increased prestige of institutionalized e...
متن کاملSystems biology is taking off.
There is a revolution occurring in the biological sciences. It took off just a couple of years ago and is now clearly visible in the literature. Some scientists in the field like to refer to the development as the birth of systems biology, whereas others prefer not to put a label on what is happening. Modern molecular biology was born with the discovery that genetics is based on nucleic acid ch...
