TLDR
Comparison of different CTF models used to reconstruct 3D volumes from zero-loss images confirmed that best agreement with the atomic model is attained with the new, modified CTF theory.

Electron tomography : methods for three-dimensional visualization of structures in the cell

Joachim Frank
TL;DR: The principles of electron microscopy have been discussed in this article, including the use of the Electron Microscope as a structure projector, and the role of the Markerless Alignment in Electron Tomography.

Electron cryo-microscopy shows how strong binding of myosin to actin releases nucleotide

TL;DR: By fitting atomic models of actin and the myosin cross-bridge into high-resolution electron cryo-microscopy three-dimensional reconstructions, the molecular basis of this linkage is described and the closing of the actin-binding cleft when actin binds is structurally coupled to the opening of the nucleotide-binding pocket.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimizing phase contrast in transmission electron microscopy with an electrostatic (Boersch) phase plate.

TL;DR: The first fabrication and application of a miniaturized electrostatic einzel lens driven as TEM quarter-wave phase plate, which proves to be mechanically stable and does not impair image quality, in particular it does not reduce the high-resolution signal.

Image restoration in cryo-electron microscopy

TL;DR: It is shown that the Wiener filter-based methodology can be used to obtain a solution to the problem of amplitude correction (or "sharpening") of the EM map that makes it visually comparable to maps determined by X-ray crystallography, and thus amenable to comparative interpretation.

Electron energy filtering significantly improves amplitude contrast of frozen-hydrated protein at 300 kV

TL;DR: Energy filtering effectively doubled the signal-to-noise ratio in the images of frozen-hydrated filaments, and substantially improved intensity data statistics of layer lines up to at least approximately 25A resolution in their Fourier transforms.

The use of fast Fourier transform for the estimation of power spectra: A method based on time averaging over short, modified periodograms

TL;DR: In this article, the use of the fast Fourier transform in power spectrum analysis is described, and the method involves sectioning the record and averaging modified periodograms of the sections.

Transmission Electron Microscopy

TL;DR: The client would like to get a larger, approximately 3 cm in diameter, well fixed tissue sample, together with a detailed report of the clinical presentation, gross, and microscopic lesions, along with the submission of samples prepared in a similar manner by the client for processing.

Model for the structure of bacteriorhodopsin based on high-resolution electron cryo-microscopy.

TL;DR: A complete atomic model for bacteriorhodopsin between amino acid residues 8 and 225 has been built and suggests that pK changes in the Schiff base must act as the means by which light energy is converted into proton pumping pressure in the channel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryo-electron microscopy of vitrified specimens.

TL;DR: Water is the most abundant component of biological material, but it is systematically excluded from conventional electron microscopy, because water evaporates rapidly under the vacuum conditions of an electron microscope.

Spider and web : processing and visualization of images in 3d electron microscopy and related fields

TL;DR: Novel features are a suite of operations relating to the determination, modeling, and correction of the contrast transfer function and the availability of the entire documentation in hypertext format.
