New computational method pushes cryo-electron microscopy beyond traditional resolution limits
Researchers have developed a computational method called Post-Acquisition Super Resolution (PASR) to improve the resolution of cryo-electron microscopy images. By subdividing pixels before motion correction, the method allows scientists to bypass traditional physical limits in structural biology.
Why it matters
This advancement enables more detailed visualization of proteins and viruses, potentially accelerating drug discovery and fundamental biological research.
