Proper Citation: National Center for Macromolecular Imaging (RRID:SCR_001445)
Description: Biomedical technology research center establishing the infrastructure for fast, routine, atomic structure determination of subcellular complexes by electron cryo-microscopy, computer reconstruction and modeling. Their emphasis is on specimens that cannot currently be studied by conventional structural techniques such as x-ray crystallography or NMR. The ultimate outcome of their research is a three-dimensional image of the complex that can be used for design of drugs and vaccines for a variety of diseases. The center is focused on extending the resolution, speed and flexibility of cryo-electron microscopy for the three-dimensional structure determination of biological macromolecular assemblies. Cryo-electron microscopy can visualize molecules under near-native conditions at resolutions ranging from 0.3 to 5 nm and can yield images of individual molecules in a range of different conformations as they exist in solution. Other cryo-electron mycroscopy techniques, such as cryo-electron tomography, are being developed to capture molecular structures in situ. The equipment, techniques and expertise developed are available to the research community through collaborative projects. The NCMI also provides training through workshops and other forms of dissemination via both traditional and modern Internet-based methods.
