BGGN 262. 3-D Cryo-Electron Microscopy of Macromolecules and Cells (4 units)
Link to catalog page: https://catalog.ucsd.edu/courses/BIOL.html#bggn262
Description
The resolution revolution in cryo-electron microscopy has made this a key technology for the high-resolution determination of structures of macromolecular complexes, organelles, and cells. The basic principles of transmission electron microscopy, modern cryo-electron microscopy, image acquisition, and 3-D reconstruction will be discussed. Examples from the research literature using this state-of-the-art technology will also be discussed. May be coscheduled with BIMM 162. Students may not receive credit for BGGN 262 and CHEM 265.
