The paper develops a workflow to predict sidechain conformations of acidic amino acids in cryo-EM maps, validated through Q-score and molecular dynamics simulations.

The paper determines the in situ structure of human Cx43 gap junction plaques using cryogenic electron tomography, revealing the role of the C-terminal domain in plaque assembly.

This study identifies a cold-induced conformation of respiratory complex CI:III2 using cryo-EM and simulations, revealing structural changes that enhance electron transfer efficiency in cold environments.
