TL;DR

This study investigates the eukaryotic chaperonin CCT, a ~1 MDa hetero-oligomeric complex essential for the folding of key substrates such as actin, tubulin, and WD40 family members and demonstrates that subunit assignment and atomic modeling are achievable by exploiting subunit-intrinsic structural features alone.

Cryo-tides: synthetic peptides for cryo-EM grid preparation of multi-subunit protein complexes sensitive to the air-water interface

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has enabled rapid progress in structural biology throughout the last decade. However, cryo-EM sample preparation still represents a major bottleneck in high-resolution structure determination. Many proteins and macromolecular complexes interact with the air-water interface during...

Design and Optimization of BRIL Fusion Constructs for Membrane Protein Cryo-EM Studies.

Structural determination of small membrane proteins by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) remains inherently challenging due to their low molecular weight, conformational heterogeneity, and lack of prominent structural features for reliable particle alignment. In this chapter, we describe how to design and perform biop...
