Nucleic acid nanostructures as tags for cryo-electron microscopy

Abstract:

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an indispensable tool for structural biologists, allowing the reconstruction of biomolecules in their native, hydrated state to nanometre, or sub-nanometre, resolution. Unfortunately in situ cryo-EM characterisation is currently limited by our ability to interpret micrographs and tomograms, as a low signal-to-noise ratio means different structures are usually difficult to distinguish. To overcome this limitation, microscopists often use cryo-EM tags: e...
