Single-particle cryo-EM at atomic resolution

…, G Murshudov, AR Aricescu, SHW Scheres - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The three-dimensional positions of atoms in protein molecules define their structure and their
roles in biological processes. The more precisely atomic coordinates are determined, the …

Prevention of overfitting in cryo-EM structure determination

SHW Scheres, S Chen - Nature methods, 2012 - nature.com
To the Editor: In the field of single-particle analysis of electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) data,
a growing concern that some resolution claims might not be substantiated by the data has …

Structures of filaments from Pick's disease reveal a novel tau protein fold

…, R Vidal, RA Crowther, B Ghetti, SHW Scheres… - Nature, 2018 - nature.com
The ordered assembly of tau protein into abnormal filamentous inclusions underlies many
human neurodegenerative diseases 1 . Tau assemblies seem to spread through specific …

How cryo-EM is revolutionizing structural biology

XC Bai, G McMullan, SHW Scheres - Trends in biochemical sciences, 2015 - cell.com
For many years, structure determination of biological macromolecules by cryo-electron
