Apollo breaks record for helical Cryo-EM reconstruction

The electron microscopy databank has confirmed that the highest resolution Cryo-EM structure of tobacco mosaic virus, and indeed the highest resolution structure resolved with helical reconstruction was generated from data recorded using the Apollo detector.

The data was collected by researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK, led by Prof. David Bhella on a JEOL CryoARM300 microscope. The reconstruction is available at EMDB – EMD-16572, and raw data is available at EMPIAR – 11404.
