During the last years, a revolution occurred in the EM field (stability of electron microscopes, advances in detector hardware and image-processing software) leading to determination of complex molecular structures at high resolution. Therefore, near-atomic-resolution cryoEM structures can now be obtained for even the most challenging targets in structural biology. |
