Microsecond melting and revitrification of cryo samples with a correlative light-electron microscopy approach

Marcel Drabbels, Gabriele Bongiovanni, Oliver Florian Harder

We have recently introduced a novel approach to time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) that affords microsecond time resolution. It involves melting a cryo sample with a laser beam to allow dynamics of the embedded particles to occur. Once the la ...

Multi-CryoGAN: Reconstruction of Continuous Conformations in Cryo-EM Using Generative Adversarial Networks

Michaël Unser, Harshit Gupta, Thanh Hai Phan, Jaejun Yoo

We propose a deep-learning-based reconstruction method for cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) that can model multiple conformations of a nonrigid biomolecule in a standalone manner. Cryo-EM produces many noisy projections from separate instances of the sam ...
