New Title Alert: CryoBoltz- is a method for fitting atomic structures into cryo-EM density maps of dynamic proteins. It is built on top of Boltz-1, a state-of-the-art structure prediction model for biomolecular complexes.

This article on an ALC1-nucleosome complex with a new conformation was accepted at @ActaCrystD in April and went online today! Check it out!

Just found and #EMDB entry deposited in July 2020 without half-maps. 😮 I didn't know half-maps had been optional for so long...

Nice preprint! Two new things:

1. A user-friendly workflow for low-dose data collection setup in SerialEM. Very nice to have an "easy mode" for SerialEM. 🙏

2. An atomic resolution #cryoEM structure of apoferritin at ~1.1 Å, with a R&H B-factor *3-fold* improved compared to the atomic res ApoF structures from 2020. 🤯 🤩
EMD-57470 and EMPIAR-13508

I am really puzzled why the first result defined the paper, and not the second one, but it's impressive either way!

RE: https://biologists.social/@biorxiv_biochem/116556723014784898

Very interesting to see that it is the same "difficult" particles that trip up classification methods with completely different underlying formalism. Also great to now have a #cryoEM dataset with known ground truth assignments!
