Download or read book Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols written by M. A. Nasser Hajibagheri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-02-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols is designed for the established researcher as a manual for extending knowledge of the field. It is also for the newcomer who wishes to move into the field. A wide range of applications for the examination of cells, tissues, biological macromolecules, molecular structures, and their interactions are discussed. We have tried to gather together methods that we consider to be those most generally appli- ble to current research in both cell and molecular biology. Each chapter c- tains a set of related practical protocols with examples provided by experts who have first-hand knowledge of the techniques they describe. The individual chapters are grouped according to similarities in their specimen preparation and methodology. Methods are presented in detail, in a step-by-step fashion, using reproducible protocols the authors have personally checked. During the last decade, the scientific literature describing the use of colloidal gold as an immunocytochemical marker has increased at an ex- nential rate, and this trend is expected to continue. We have included a large number of variations on the immunogold labeling technique. In both the ne- tive staining and cryo chapters, authors emphasize the “immunological app- cations” in order to correlate as fully as possible with the emphasis on immunogold labeling in the other chapters. Electron Microscopy Methods and Protocols commences with the routine preparation of biological material for classical transmission electron microscopy involving tissue fixation, embedding, and sectioning (Chap. 1).

Download or read book Single particle Cryo electron Microscopy written by Joachim Frank and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book reproduces 55 of more than 300 articles written by the author, representing milestones in methods development of single-particle cryo-EM as well as important results obtained by this technique in the study of biological macromolecules and their interactions. Importantly, neither symmetries nor ordered arrangements (as in two-dimensional crystals, helical assemblies, icosahedral viruses) are required. Although the biological applications are mainly in the area of ribosome structure and function, the elucidation of membrane channel structures and their activation and gating mechanisms are represented, as well. The book is introduced by a commentary that explains the original development of concepts, describes the contributions of the author's colleagues and students, and shows how challenges were overcome as the technique matured. Along the way, the ribosome served as an example for a macromolecule with intricate structure and conformational dynamics that pose challenges for three-dimensional visualization. Toward the end of the book -- bringing us to the present time -- molecular structures with near-atomic resolution are presented, and a novel type of computational analysis, manifold embedding, is introduced. Single-particle cryo-EM is currently revolutionizing structural biology, presenting a powerful alternative to X-ray crystallography as a means to solve the structure of biological macromolecules. The book presents in one place a number of articles containing key advances in mathematical and computational methods leading up to the present time. Secondly, the development of the technique over the years is reflected by ever-expanding discoveries in the field of ribosome structure and function. Thirdly, as all histories of ideas, the history of concepts pertaining to this new method of visualization is fascinating all in itself.

Download or read book Negative Stain Electron Microscopy Studies of Mammalian Proteins Crucial for Cellular Life and Death Decisions written by Amanda Jean Rice and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electron microscopy (EM) allows visualization of proteins and macromolecular complexes up to near-atomic resolution. Single-particle EM uses low signal-to-noise ratio images of a biological molecule to reconstruct its three-dimensional (3D) structure. It can thus be used to obtain detailed structural information of molecules not easily studied by the more traditional structural techniques of X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. While cryo-EM of vitrified specimens is the best way to visualize biological molecules, negative staining remains a valuable tool for electron microscopists. The much higher contrast of negatively stained specimens, which is due to the heavy metal salts of the stain, as compared to vitrified specimens greatly improves the reliability of alignment and classification procedures used in the processing of EM images, particularly for molecules too small or too heterogeneous to be studied by cryo-EM. Although the resolution of 3D reconstructions calculated from images of negatively stained samples is limited to approximately 20 Å, the fast and easy negative stain EM approach can still provide valuable structural insights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological membranes are the essential structuring elements of all living cells. Many enzymatic reactions take place at the membrane-water interface. To gain detailed insight into membrane properties, it is therefore of great importance to understand the complex nature of the interactions of membrane proteins with lipids. Lipid-Protein Interactions: Methods and Protocols provides a selection of protocols to examine protein-lipid interactions, membrane and membrane protein structure, how membrane proteins affect lipids and how they are in turn affected by the lipid bilayer and lipid properties. The methods described here are all actively used, complementary, and necessary to obtain comprehensive information about membrane structure and function. They include label-free approaches, imaging techniques and spectroscopic methodologies. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Lipid-Protein Interactions: Methods and Protocols seeks to serve both professional and novices with its wide range of the methods frequently used in this area of research.
