Any aspect of cell activity is regulated by extracellular signals that are recognized, decoded, and transduced inside the cell via different classes of plasma membrane receptors. 1À3 G …
Summary In medium-resolution (7–10 Å) cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) density maps, α helices can be identified as density rods whereas β-strand or loop regions are not as …

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) enables the imaging of macromolecular complexes in near-native environments at resolutions that often permit the visualization of secondary …
S Lindert, PL Stewart, J Meiler - Current opinion in structural biology, 2009 - Elsevier
Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy have led to an increasing number of high (3– 5Å) to medium (5–10Å) resolution cryoEM density maps. These density maps contain …
Hybrid approaches combine computational methods with experimental data. The information contained in the experimental data can be leveraged to probe the structure of …
SE Harrington, N Ben-Tal - Structure, 2009 - cell.com
We identify a structural feature of transmembrane helical proteins that restricts their conformational space and suggests a new way of understanding the construction and …
Cryo‐electron microscopy is a powerful technique for the determination of three‐ dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecular machines, as it provides functional …
We present an approach for incorporating solvent accessibility data from electron paramagnetic resonance experiments in the structural refinement of membrane proteins …
