For the first time, researchers have filmed in real time the disassembly of DNA at the atomic scale. This strand separation is the first step in DNA replication. This breakthrough, published ...

Researchers at Pitt have produced the most detailed image to date of a bacteriophage–phage for short–that has allowed them to ...

which is more compact than normal DNA. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), a team of structural and molecular ...

Until now. Two laboratories recently used cryo-electron microscopy to directly image atoms in a protein molecule with a resolution of about 1.2 x 10-7 millimeters or 1.2 ångströms. The previous ...

Mycobacteria are the world’s most deadly bacteria—causing infectious diseases including tuberculosis (TB), which alone kills ...

The images produced with a cryo-electron microscope can only be as good as the sample that goes into it. That's why Jiro Usukura, at the Structural Biology Research Center, Nagoya University ...

What is Cryo-Electron Microscopy? Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM ... Cryo-EM continues to evolve and improve, with advancements in sample preparation, data collection, and image processing ...

Chromatin remodeling plays a vital role in gene regulation, affecting how DNA is accessed. Disruptions in this process can ...

Cryo electron microscopy (cryo EM) has revolutionized our understanding of the intricate molecular machinery that governs life. In this article, we discuss what cryo EM is, how it works, it's ...

Using state-of-the-art cryo-electron tomography, researchers led by Dr. Florent Waltz and Prof. Ben Engel at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel were able to create high-resolution images of ...

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
