Abstract: Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) is a widely used technique for structure determination of biomacromolecules to near-atomic resolution. Random distributions of these molecules ...Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) is a widely used technique for structure determination of biomacromolecules to near-atomic resolution. Random distributions of these molecules in vitrified ice are necessary to accumulate enough two-dimensional views to generate a complete three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction. However, interactions between the sample and the air-water interface (AWI) that occur during vitrification often bias the views of the sample, a phenomenon termed preferred orientation, limiting our ability to obtain 3-D reconstructions. Surfactants are often used as sample additives to prevent AWI-induced deterioration, but no general strategy exists for surfactant choice, requiring laborious screening for each sample. To circumvent these issues, we developed SurfACT, a cocktail of diverse surfactants with distinct physicochemical properties that limits AWI-dependent sample denaturation and orientation bias, while mitigating individual surfactant-specific drawbacks. Here we demonstrate SurfACT's effectiveness with four proteins plagued by AWI-induced issues, including two species of hemagglutinin (HA), molybdenum-iron protein (MoFeP) from the nitrogenase enzyme, and aldolase. All four samples show drastically improved viewing distribution and map completeness when SurfACT is applied. Cryogenic electron tomography demonstrates that SurfACT redistributes particles from the AWI into the bulk ice, driving signal recovery and inhibiting denaturation. This versatile sample additive minimizes sample-specific screening and expands the capabilities and range of suitable samples for cryoEM.

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.
