Cryo-EM Services

Electron microscopy (EM) has become an extremely popular method for the ultrastructural study of macromolecules, cells and tissues. An aqueous biological sample is frozen rapidly and irradiated with a beam of electrons. A detector senses how the electrons are scattered and a computer reconstructs the 3Dshape of the molecule. <br>http://www.creative-biostructure.com/cryo-em-services_4.htm

  1. Cryo-EM Services Electron microscopy (EM) has become an extremely popular method for the ultrastructural study of macromolecules, cells and tissues. An aqueous biological sample is frozen rapidly and irradiated with a beam of electrons. A detector senses how the electrons are scattered and a computer reconstructs the 3D- shape of the molecule. Why you need this service? • You have small amount of materials; • The material is hard to crystallize; • You are looking into the molecules in atomic details; • It is a large biomolecular complex (>150 kDa, up to 2000 Å); • You want to observe the real "native state" structure. See the comparison of Crystallography, NMR, and EM Service Processes: (Take protein as an example) http://www.creative-biostructure.com/cryo-em-services_4.htm
