As we have reported already on June 1, 2020, two studies reported in preliminary published manuscripts on bioRxives.org showed that single particle cryo-EM data can be now resolved to 1.20Å or 1.25Å resolution, respectively. The groups of Sjors H.W. Scheres (LMB-MRC, Cambridge) and Holger Stark (MPI Göttingen) had for the first time shown that atomic resolution is attainable by single particle cryo-EM. Now, in November 2020, both studies appeared back-to-back in Nature. For details look at Nakane, T. et al. Single-particle cryo-EM at atomic resolution. Nature, 20, doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2829-0 and Yip, K. M., Fischer, N., Paknia, E., Chari, A. & Stark, H. Atomic-resolution protein structure determination by cryo-EM. Nature, 17, doi:10.1038/s41586-020-2833-4.
Pavel Kadeřávek became the new head of the Josef Dadok National NMR Centre on 1 July. Pavel has a scientific background in NMR methodology development, study of biomolecule dynamics, characterization of minority states of biomolecules and IDPs.
