An immobilized antibody-based affinity grid strategy for on-grid purification of target proteins enables high-resolution cryo-EM

open access: yesCommunications Biology
In cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), sample preparation poses a critical bottleneck, particularly for rare or fragile macromolecular assemblies and those suffering from denaturation and particle orientation distribution issues related to air-water ...

The Development of Image Processing Algorithms in Cryo-EM

open access: yes, 2019
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has been established as the leading imaging technique for structural studies from small proteins to whole cells at a molecular level. The great advances in cryo-EM have led to the ability to provide unique insights into

Probing the Energy Landscape of α‐Synuclein Amyloid Fibril Formation by Systematic K‐to‐Q Mutagenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We use lysine‐to‐glutamine mutations to study the effect of electrostatics on the kinetics and thermodynamics of alpha‐synuclein amyloid fibril formation. We find that mutational effects map on their structural context within fibrils and identify residues that modulate the energy landscape of alpha‐synuclein self‐assembly. Our work outlines a scalable,

Structural Basis of Lymphangiogenic Receptor VEGFR‐3 Activation Mediated by Distinctive Clustering of the Ligand–Receptor Complex

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
VEGF‐C and its receptor VEGFR‐3 are critical for lymphangiogenesis. Cryo‐EM structures of the VEGFR‐3/VEGF‐C ectodomain complex reveal a canonical 2:2 ligand–receptor hetero‐tetramer that further assembles into higher‐order clusters beyond simple receptor dimerization.

Graphene in cryo-EM specimen optimization

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology
Specimen preparation is a critical but challenging step in high-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structural analysis of macromolecules. In the past decade, graphene has gained much recognition as the supporting substrate to optimize cryo-EM specimen preparation.

Cryo-EM model validation recommendations based on outcomes of the 2019 EMDataResource challenge.

open access: yes, 2021
This paper describes outcomes of the 2019 Cryo-EM Model Challenge. The goals were to (1) assess the quality of models that can be produced from cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps using current modeling software, (2) evaluate reproducibility of ...

An Extracellular Pore‑Targeting Peptide Defines a Designable Allosteric Site in TRPV2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Structure‐guided peptide engineering yields Depiv2, a highly potent and subtype‐selective TRPV2 inhibitor that binds to the extracellular pore and remodels it into a closed, non‐conductive state. Depiv2 suppresses pathological cardiac hypertrophy, establishing the TRPV2 outer pore as a designable interface for selective peptide modulation.

Sonogenetics Nanomedicine Activates the cGAS‐STING Pathway for Immunotherapy of Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A HER3‐targeted sonogenetic lipid nanoparticle platform is developed for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy. An AI‐designed miniprotein inhibits HER3 signaling, while TRPV4 and NFAT‐responsive IL‐15 plasmids enable ultrasound‐controlled calcium signaling and cytokine expression. The system induces Ca2+ overload, ROS generation, mitochondrial damage,

Multimodal deep learning integration of cryo-EM and AlphaFold3 for high-accuracy protein structure determination

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a key technology for determining the structures of proteins, particularly large protein complexes. However, automatically building high-accuracy protein structures from cryo-EM density maps remains a crucial ...
