Modeling of the atomic structures of the F and G virion proteins (from the crystal structure of the 70S virion) into cryoEM reconstructions of 108S procapsids and 132S provirions shows that the G and F proteins undergo minor and major conformational changes, respectively; these changes are believed to help facilitate viral assembly.

The atomic-resolution subunit model is then fitted to the cryoEM density for a swollen form of the virus, demonstrating that electrostatic repulsion from ionized acidic residues causes the swelling at neutral pH in the absence of divalent metal ions.

Biophys J1996, 70:57-68. Two dimensional crystals of streptavidin are ordered to 2.5 Å resolution. Electron-diffraction data are collected and used for the refinement of the available X-ray atomic model using the program X-PLOR. An agreement factor of 18% is obtained while maintaining good geometry in the protein. The coordinates of the model refined against the electron diffraction data are closely similar to the X-ray coordinates.

Docking of the homologous region of the X-ray structure of skeletal S1 (the motor domain) into the EM maps demonstrates that even a limited amount of highresolution information can provide insight into the nature of the changes: the light-chain region rotates as a rigid body about its junction with the immobile motor domain.

Modeling of atomic structure of the Sindbis core protein into the cryoEM reconstruction of the nucleocapsid portion of Ross River virus shows that the nucleocapsid protein does not associate as dimers, as predicted on the basis of crystallographic experiments. Instead, the capsid proteins are arranged as pentamers and hexamers in a T=4 lattice and in one-to-one association with the 240 E1·E2 glycoprotein heterodimers.

The authors describe the preliminary fitting of the double helical regions of a rRNA, from a 3D model based on biochemical data, to a cryoEM reconstruction of the 70S ribosome. The reconstruction shows an extensive system of channels within the 50S subunil and a gap between the 30S and 50S subunits, reported to be ideally shaped to accommodate two tRNA molecules.

Structure 1996, 4:243-252. The two dimensional structure of LH(II) from Rhodovulum sulfidophilum is determined at 7 Å resolution by cryoEM. The structure is compared with the 2.5 Åresolution atomic model of LH(II) from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila. The two structures correlate very well with the major difference being a slight displacement of the outer helices, perhaps attributable to a different degree of tilt in these helices in the two structures.

Atomic models of protein-protein and lipid-protein interactions are developed on the basis of the X-ray crystal structure of the OmpF porin trimer and topographs recorded by atomic force microscopy (AFM) of 2D crystals reconstituted in the presence of lipids. The bilayer is modeled with kinked lipids by fitting the head groups to contours determined with AFM. The potential of AFM to monitor conformational changes at high resolution is clearly demonstrated.

The chemical basis for straightening the acrosomal process in the fertilization reaction of Limulus sperm is examined. An acrosomal bundle formed of an actin filament with associated scruin molecules is imaged at 7Å resolution using cryoEM and image processing. Fitting the atomic model of F-actin to the EM map allows the identification of residues on actin that interact with scruin.

An atomic resolution model of F-actin is fitted to the negative-stain, EM-derived, density of skeletal muscle filaments. A cleft in the F-actin model agrees well with a complimentary feature in the EM map, supporting the fit. The fit of the high-resolution model supports the mechanism by which strong cross-bridge association between actin and myosin is inhibited in relaxed muscle by a troponin-stabilized form of tropomyosin.

These constitute the putative receptor binding sites for both viruses.
