CryoEM achievements and potential
This is a hybrid event - with the speaker attending in-person and viewable on Teams.
In the last decade, single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) has experienced an enormous leap in its capability, due to improved electron microscopes, better detectors and better software, and this has revolutionised structural biology. I will show some topical examples and discuss further potential for improvements. I will also talk about our efforts to encourage development of less expensive cryoEM equipment such as described in our recent publication McMullan et al, PNAS 120, e2312905120 – doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2312905120.
