This review highlights recent efforts on applying electron microscopy (EM) to soft (including
biological) nanomaterials. We will show how developments of both the hardware and …

Crystallography of nanocrystalline materials has witnessed a true revolution in the past 10
years, thanks to the introduction of protocols for 3D acquisition and analysis of electron …

Cryo–electron microscopy, or simply cryo-EM, refers mainly to three very different yet closely
related techniques: electron crystallography, single-particle cryo-EM, and electron …

In nature, photosynthetic organelles harness solar radiation to produce energy-rich
compounds from water and atmospheric CO2 via exquisite supramolecular assemblies …

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in soil, where its availability to plants can
exhilarate to 10% of total dry weight of the plant. Si accumulation/transport occurs in the …

For many years, structure determination of biological macromolecules by cryo-electron
microscopy (cryo-EM) was limited to large complexes or low-resolution models. With recent …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) structure determination by single particle electron
cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) involves the calculation of an initial 3D model, followed by …

Melatonin is a multifunctional signaling molecule that is ubiquitously distributed in different
parts of a plant and responsible for stimulating several physio-chemical responses to …

Absorption of light by a molecule (donor, D) generates an excited state, which may
subsequently transfer the excitation to another chromophore (acceptor, A) in the vicinity …

Photoprotection of photosystem II (PSII) is essential to avoid the light-induced damage of the
photosynthetic apparatus due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (= photo-oxidative …
