This volume details the most up-to-date cryo-EM techniques from leading researchers. Chapters are organized into four parts with emphasis on electron cryotomography, single particle analysis, and the crystal based cryo-EM methods of 2D electron crystallography, and MicroED for the study of 3D crystals. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and cutting-edge, CryoEM: Methods and Protocols aims to serve as an excellent resource on cryo-EM and can serve as the foundation for new researchers to this growing field in structural biology.
