First 3.2 Å β-galactosidase structure solved by cryo-EM
Bartesaghi, A.; Matthies, D.; Banerjee, S.; Merk, A.; Subramaniam, S.

Structure of Escherichia coli β-galactosidase (∼465 kDa) at 3.2 Å resolution solved using the GIF Quantum LS energy filter that includes a K2 Summit camera. The first atomic model derived using single-particle cryo-EM analysis closely matches the 1.7 Å crystal structure with a global rmsd of ∼0.66 Å.
