Authors Bock LV, Grubmüller H Journal Nature Communications Citation Nat Commun. 2022 Mar 31;13(1):1709. Abstract Structure determination by cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) provides information on structural heterogeneity and ensembles at atomic resolution. To obtain cryo-EM images of macromolecules, the samples are first rapidly cooled down to cryogenic temperatures. To what
