New lab preprint!
@zestytoast.bsky.social tagged a scarce mycobacterial protein in M. smegmatis with TwinStep but got… something? @kjamali.bsky.social's ModelAngelo built models & @martinsteinegger.bsky.social's FoldSeek IDed them as the biotin-containing MCC & LCC complexes

On a gruelling hunt for rare associated molecules in your #cryoEM particle stack and not sure where to look?

Discover practical tips and tricks in our new case study using #CryoSPARC v4.7.1 where we find and refine a low-population interaction partner!

When particles have orientation bias, the resulting maps are often streaked along the missing directions. In this case study, we cover why orientation bias produces anisotropic #cryoEM maps and how you may be able to recover from it!

Grappling with poorly-resolved ligand binding sites in #cryoEM maps?
Check out our new case study on a peptide ligand-bound GPCR showing how practical tips and features in #CryoSPARC v4.7 improve locally refined map quality and reveal clearer ligand density!

Are you new to #CryoEM, or looking for a review of the basics?

You might enjoy our TRPV1 case study! It covers preprocessing, particle curation, refinement, and more! You can also test your skills with the advanced exercises at the end of the study.

4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.

On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day

So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga
