environmental signals, but elucidating how these channels respond to physical and chemical …

[HTML][HTML] Single-particle cryo-EM at crystallographic resolution

Y Cheng - Cell, 2015 - cell.com
Until only a few years ago, single-particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) was usually
not the first choice for many structural biologists due to its limited resolution in the range of …

Single-particle cryo-EM—How did it get here and where will it go

Y Cheng - Science, 2018 - science.org
Cryo–electron microscopy, or simply cryo-EM, refers mainly to three very different yet
closely related techniques: electron crystallography, single-particle cryo-EM, and electron …

Electron counting and beam-induced motion correction enable near-atomic-resolution single-particle cryo-EM

…, MB Braunfeld, S Gubbens, DA Agard, Y Cheng - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
In recent work with large high-symmetry viruses, single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM)
has achieved the determination of near-atomic-resolution structures by allowing …

Structure of the TRPA1 ion channel suggests regulatory mechanisms

CE Paulsen, JP Armache, Y Gao, Y Cheng, D Julius - Nature, 2015 - nature.com
The TRPA1 ion channel (also known as the wasabi receptor) is a detector of noxious chemical
agents encountered in our environment or produced endogenously during tissue injury or …
