Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the new biological directions and insights coming from cryoEM studies of biological molecular complexes. In structural biology, using cryoEM technology to advance new concepts in biological areas and propose testable ideas by different methods will be the new frontier. This Special Issue will highlight a few directions, where technical advancement in cryoEM is used to exemplify its power in addressing urgent biological questions.
