GraDeR: Membrane Protein Complex Preparation for Single-Particle Cryo-EM.
We developed a method, named GraDeR, which substantially improves the preparation of membrane protein complexes for structure determination by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). In GraDeR, glycerol gradient centrifugation is used for the mild removal of free detergent monomers and micelles from lauryl maltose-neopentyl glycol detergent stabilized membrane complexes, resulting i...
متن کاملKeratoconus: it is time to shake off old habits!
A little more than a decade ago, the therapy of keratoconus was a waiting game: the typically young patient would over the years progress from needing spectacles to contact lenses. Many, a decade or two after diagnosis and progression of their disease, would then face a desperate need for keratoplasty to restore the diminishing vision. After all, spectacles, contact glasses or intracorneal ring...
متن کاملShake It Off; Radical Meaning Innovation in Product Design
This paper describes two techniques aimed at design-driven product innovation. Both techniques focus on providing a different, initially disruptive, perspective form which to approach a design assignment. As a result, sticky meanings and conventions are shaken loose, opening up avenues for considering new meanings that set the stage for design-driven product innovation.. Workshop results sugges...
متن کاملCryo-electron Microscopy Specimen Preparation By Means Of a Focused Ion Beam
Here we present a protocol used to prepare cryo-TEM samples of Aspergillus niger spores, but which can easily be adapted for any number of microorganisms or solutions. We make use of a custom built cryo-transfer station and a modified cryo-SEM preparation chamber. The spores are taken from a culture, plunge-frozen in a liquid nitrogen slush and observed in the cryo-SEM to select a region of int...
متن کاملCryo-EM enters a new era
Advances in detector hardware and image-processing software have led to a revolution in the use of electron cryo-microscopy to determine complex molecular structures at high resolution.
