Volta potential phase plate for in-focus phase contrast transmission electron microscopy

R Danev, B Buijsse, M Khoshouei… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
We describe a phase plate for transmission electron microscopy taking advantage of a
hitherto-unknown phenomenon, namely a beam-induced Volta potential on the surface of a …

Visualizing the molecular sociology at the HeLa cell nuclear periphery

J Mahamid, S Pfeffer, M Schaffer, E Villa, R Danev… - Science, 2016 - science.org
The molecular organization of eukaryotic nuclear volumes remains largely unexplored. Here
we combined recent developments in cryo–electron tomography (cryo-ET) to produce three-…

Phase-plate cryo-EM structure of a class B GPCR–G-protein complex

…, SGB Furness, G Christopoulos, T Coudrat, R Danev… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
Class B G-protein-coupled receptors are major targets for the treatment of chronic diseases,

Transmission electron microscopy with Zernike phase plate

R Danev, K Nagayama - Ultramicroscopy, 2001 - Elsevier
The possibility of implementing a Zernike phase plate in a transmission electron microscope
is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The phase-retarding plate in the form …

A molecular census of 26S proteasomes in intact neurons

…, Y Fukuda, F Beck, A Aufderheide, F Förster, R Danev… - Science, 2015 - science.org
The 26S proteasome is a key player in eukaryotic protein quality control and in the regulation
of numerous cellular processes. Here, we describe quantitative in situ structural studies of …

Structure of the adenosine-bound human adenosine A1 receptor–Gi complex

…, H Venugopal, JA Baltos, JM Plitzko, R Danev… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The class A adenosine A 1 receptor (A 1 R) is a G-protein-coupled receptor that preferentially
couples to inhibitory G i/o heterotrimeric G proteins, has been implicated in numerous …

Phase-plate cryo-EM structure of a biased agonist-bound human GLP-1 receptor–Gs complex
