2SHP Challenging structural determination of unique biomolecules using cryo-electron microscopy

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM Room H (Conference Room 234 (Bldg. 2, 3F))

Organizers: Yamamoto Naoki (Jichi Medical Univ.)、Burton-Smith Raymond N. (NIPS)

Cryo-electron microscopy is a powerful tool to determine structures of biomolecules. Especially, it is suitable for those which are difficult to be crystallized such as flexible virus capsids, fibrils, or membrane proteins. In this symposium, young scientists challenging to solve structures of such complicated biomolecules will present their recent results. We will discuss how to solve problems that we encounter in the sample preparation and single-particle analysis.
