Journal: Nat Methods / Year: 2020 Title: Template-free detection and classification of membrane-bound complexes in cryo-electron tomograms. Authors: Antonio Martinez-Sanchez / Zdravko Kochovski / Ulrike Laugks / Johannes Meyer Zum Alten Borgloh / Saikat Chakraborty / Stefan Pfeffer / Wolfgang Baumeister / Vladan Lučić / Abstract: With faithful sample preservation and direct imaging of fully hydrated biological material, cryo-electron tomography provides an accurate representation of molecular architecture of cells. However, ...With faithful sample preservation and direct imaging of fully hydrated biological material, cryo-electron tomography provides an accurate representation of molecular architecture of cells. However, detection and precise localization of macromolecular complexes within cellular environments is aggravated by the presence of many molecular species and molecular crowding. We developed a template-free image processing procedure for accurate tracing of complex networks of densities in cryo-electron tomograms, a comprehensive and automated detection of heterogeneous membrane-bound complexes and an unsupervised classification (PySeg). Applications to intact cells and isolated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) allowed us to detect and classify small protein complexes. This classification provided sufficiently homogeneous particle sets and initial references to allow subsequent de novo subtomogram averaging. Spatial distribution analysis showed that ER complexes have different localization patterns forming nanodomains. Therefore, this procedure allows a comprehensive detection and structural analysis of complexes in situ.

Feb 9, 2022. New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
New format data for meta-information of EMDB entries
Version 3 of the EMDB header file is now the official format.
The previous official version 1.9 will be removed from the archive.
In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.
Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
