Paper - Ice In Biomolecular Cryocrystallography |

|
This paper at Acta Cryst D by David W. Moreau, et al. examines the issue of ice in biomolecular cryocrystallography. |
|
There are several points covered including:
- Defining a revised metric for detecting ice from deposited protein structure-factor data
- A random sample of PDB entries collected at cryogenic temperatures are examined using the revised metric and improved algorithms with results indicating that "roughly 16% show evidence of ice contamination"
- And more...
- The paper concludes by summarizing the factors that affect ice formation in cryocrystallography

|
In a paper at Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, author Deryck J. Mills summarizes the experience gained by working in the EM field since 1978 and his thoughts on setting up and operating a cryo-EM laboratory.
Specific points covered include:
- What equipment is needed
- Room requirements for microscopes, screening, specimen preparation, etc...
- Operation, maintenance and budgeting considerations
- The future of cryo-EM labs is also considered
