Title:The big chill: growth of in situ structural biology with cryo-electron tomography
Creators Name:Kudryashev, M.
Abstract:In situ structural biology with cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging (StA) is evolving as a major method to understand the structure, function, and interactions of biological molecules in cells in a single experiment. Since its inception, the method has matured with some stellar highlights and with further opportunities to broaden its applications. In this short review, I want to provide a personal perspective on the developments in cryo-ET as I have seen it for the last ~20 years and outline the major steps that led to its success. This perspective highlights cryo-ET with my eyes as a junior researcher and my view on the present and past developments in hardware and software for in situ structural biology with cryo-ET.
