The exact nature of these fibrils remains unknown. Here, we characterize -synthesized fibers made by CESAs present in membrane fractions of over-expressing CESA5 by cryo-electron tomography and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR. DNP enabled measuring two-dimensional C-C correlation spectra without isotope-labeling of the fibers. Results show structural similarity between fibrils and native CMF in plant cell walls. Intensity quantifications agree with the 18-chain structural model for plant CMF and indicate limited fibrillar bundling. The system thus reveals insights into cell wall synthesis and may contribute to novel cellulosic materials. The integrated DNP and cryo-electron tomography methods are also applicable to structural studies of other carbohydrate-based biomaterials.
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.

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.
