SelectScience
7 Oct 2019

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful biophysical technique that allows researchers to visualize molecular assemblies at near-atomic resolution. In this application-based eBook, we outline the application of cryo-EM in structure-based drug discovery and look at how state-of-the-art microscopes, such as the Krios G4 cryo-TEM from Thermo Fisher Scientific, help to keep leaders in the pharmaceutical industry at the forefront of drug discovery.

Download this eBook to learn more about:

  • The single-particle analysis (SPA) workflow
  • Micro-electron diffraction (microED) using nanocrystals
  • The applications of cryo-EM in structure-based drug design
  • Scientists who are using this technique, including Nobel laureate Dr. Richard Henderson

Electron MicroscopyElectron microscopes (EM) are used to create high-resolution images of samples at the nanoscale by means of an accelerated beam of electrons as a source of illumination. Types of electron microscope include scanning electron microscopes (SEM), transmission electron microscopes (TEM), scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) and cryo-electron microscopes. Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopes are useful for modifying or milling a sample surface with nanometer precision, as well as imaging.
