Cryo-EM reaches yet another milestone – Comments on two recent cryo-EM atomic resolution studies

Two studies published during last two weeks have reported that single particle cryo-EM data can be now resolved to 1.20Å or 1.25Å, respectively. The groups of Sjors H.W. Scheres (LMB-MRC, Cambridge) and Holger Stark (MPI Göttingen) have for the first time shown that atomic resolution is attainable by single particle cryo-EM.

Single-particle cryo-EM at atomic resolution

A. Radu Aricescu & Sjors H.W. Scheres et al. show in the bioRxiv paper that using a new electron source, energy filter and camera, a 1.7 Å resolution cryo-EM reconstruction for a prototypical human membrane protein, the β3 GABAA receptor homo-pentamer, can be obtained.

Breaking the next Cryo-EM resolution barrier – Atomic resolution determination of proteins!

In a new bioRxiv paper, Holger Stark et a. report a 1.25 Å resolution structure of apoferritin obtained by cryo-EM with a newly developed electron microscope providing unprecedented structural details. Their apoferritin structure has almost twice the 3D information content of the current world record reconstruction (at 1.54 Å resolution). For the first time in cryo-EM they can visualize individual atoms in a protein, see density for hydrogen atoms and single atom chemical modifications.

Instruct-ERIC Call for R&D Pilot Project Awards is now Open

Instruct-ERIC invites applications for its sixth Research & Development (R&D) Pilot Project Awards. Recipients of the Instruct R&D Award receive up to €15,000 for a basic or applied research project lasting approximately one year. The expectation is that the preliminary data from pilot project will form the basis for recipients to apply for more substantial funding through conventional routes. Proposal submission is open until 31 August 2020.
