Diversifying particle-orientation distributions in cryo-EM with LEA protein additives

Kaitlyn M. Abe, Timothy Grant, Ci Ji Lim

This study shows that LEA proteins can reduce orientation bias and improve particle-orientation distributions in cryo-EM by mitigating air-water interface damage.

Small LEA proteins as an effective air-water interface protectant for fragile samples during cryo-EM grid plunge freezing

Kaitlyn M. Abe, Li Gan, Qixiang He…·Ci Ji Lim

The paper shows small LEA proteins protect fragile samples from air-water interface damage during cryo-EM plunge freezing, improving structural determination of multisubunit complexes.
