We report sub-3 Å resolution structures using the 100 keV ...Cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) has transformed structural biology by providing high-resolution insights into biological macromolecules. We report sub-3 Å resolution structures using the 100 keV Tundra cryo-TEM, equipped with the Falcon C direct electron detector (DED). This system combines advanced optics, extreme-brightness field emission gun (XFEG), and SP-TWIN lens to enhance coherence and resolution. The semi-automated loader reduced contamination and drift, enabling extended data collection, while the high detective quantum efficiency (DQE) of Falcon C improved signal-to-noise ratio. We validated performance by determining structures of biological samples, including apoferritin (2.1 Å), T20S proteasome (2.7 Å), GABA receptor (2.8 Å), hemoglobin (5.0 Å), transthyretin (3.5 Å), and AAV9 capsid (2.8 Å), spanning 50 kDa-3.9 MDa. This work highlights the potential of 100 keV transmission electron microscopes (TEMs) to make cryo-EM more accessible. It sets a precedent for using lower voltage TEMs not only for screening, but also for high-resolution protein structure determination.

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.

Jul 12, 2017. Major update of PDB

Major update of PDB

  • wwPDB released updated PDB data conforming to the new PDBx/mmCIF dictionary.
  • This is a major update changing the version number from 4 to 5, and with Remediation, in which all the entries are updated.
  • In this update, many items about electron microscopy experimental information are reorganized (e.g. em_software).
  • Now, EM Navigator and Yorodumi are based on the updated data.
