Gently does it for submicron crystals

Elife. 2013 Nov 19:2:e01662. doi: 10.7554/eLife.01662.

Abstract

A protein structure has been refined with electron diffraction data obtained by using a very weak electron beam to collect large numbers of diffraction patterns from a few sub-micron-sized three-dimensional crystals.

Keywords: electron cryomicroscopy (cryo EM); electron crystallography; electron diffraction; method development; protein structure.
