Research Interest

Cryo-EM is developing fast not only on data process software but also on hardware such as phase plate and direct electron detector. It is playing more and more important role in the modern structure biology.　The molecular weights of the biology samples that are able to be reconstructed at a high resolution (better than 4 Å) are extended from 103~105kD (virus sample for most cases) to 102kD (protein complexes).
