Liquid Helium Sharpens The View Of Proteins
Ashok Lokhande
After decades of frustration, scientists have successfully refined cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) by utilizing ultracold liquid helium to achieve remarkably high-resolution images of protein structures. This breakthrough overcomes a long-standing issue that paradoxically resulted in fuzzier images when using liquid helium compared to the warmer liquid nitrogen temperatures. The findings pave the way for electron [..] The post Liquid Helium Sharpens The View Of Proteins appeared first on
