TLDR
A “dose-symmetric tilt-scheme” that begins at low tilt and then alternates between increasingly positive and negative tilts maximizes the amount of high-resolution information maintained in the tomogram for subsequent subtomogram averaging, and may also be advantageous for other applications.

Structures and distributions of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins on intact virions.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy and tomography is applied to image intact SARS-CoV-2 virions, determining the high-resolution structure, conformational flexibility and distribution of S trimers in situ on the virion surface and providing a basis from which to understand interactions between S and neutralizing antibodies during infection or vaccination.

Real-time cryo-electron microscopy data preprocessing with Warp.

TL;DR: Warp is described, a software that automates all preprocessing steps of cryo-EM data acquisition and enables real-time evaluation, and includes deep-learning-based models for accurate particle picking and image denoising.

Molecular Architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus

TL;DR: Overall, these characterizations have revealed the architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in exceptional detail, and shed lights on how the virus packs its ∼30 kb long single-segmented RNA in the ∼80 nm diameter lumen.

Automated electron microscope tomography using robust prediction of specimen movements.

TL;DR: A new method was developed to acquire images automatically at a series of specimen tilts, as required for tomographic reconstruction, using changes in specimen position at previous tilt angles to predict the position at the current tilt angle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual-axis tomography: an approach with alignment methods that preserve resolution.

TL;DR: Analysis by Fourier sector correlation indicated that the variable tilt increment improved the reconstruction in some respects but degraded it in others, and a varying tilt increment thus does not give an unqualified improvement, at least when using back-projection algorithms for the reconstruction.

The Reconstruction of a Three-Dimensional Structure from Projections and its Application to Electron Microscopy

TL;DR: In this paper, the Fourier transform is used to combine data from a number of different views of a transmission electron micrograph to reconstruct a 3D image of a given particle to a given degree of resolution.

Measuring the optimal exposure for single particle cryo-EM using a 2.6 Å reconstruction of rotavirus VP6

TL;DR: A method of using optimal exposure values to filter movie frames, yielding images with improved contrast that lead to higher resolution reconstructions that should benefit cryo-EM work on all types of samples, especially those of relatively low-molecular mass.
