MiTeGen - Innovations For Crystallography and Cryo-EM

Making the Leap: Transitioning from X-ray Crystallography to Cryo-EM

Breaking barriers: transitioning from X-ray crystallography to cryo-EM for structural studies

As structural biology continues to evolve, many laboratories are integrating cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) alongside traditional X-ray crystallography to tackle large, flexible biomolecular complexes.


In a newly featured IUCr paper, "Breaking barriers: transitioning from X-ray crystallography to cryo-EM for structural studies," researchers provide a practical roadmap of the cryo-EM workflow using the epigenetic regulator ATAD2B as a model system. The authors openly share strategies for overcoming common sample preparation hurdles—including diagnosing heterogeneity, optimizing grid freezing conditions, and removing persistent contaminants such as GroEL.


Whether your lab is just beginning to adopt cryo-EM or looking to refine your vitrification and screening protocols, this paper offers valuable, actionable insights to help streamline your structural determination pipeline.

Upcoming Events

Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference 2026

The Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference (PDC) is September 15th-18th at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The conference features two parallel scientific sessions, one on life sciences and the other on chemistry and materials science. The conference includes lectures, a poster session, a conference banquet, tours of LCLS and SSRL, and an exhibitors' display. We are sponsoring PDC and exhibiting there.

XLEAP Workshop

The XLEAP Workshop, Synchrotron X-rays for Metals in Plants, Soils, and Environmental Systems, is August 5th-7th at Cornell University. The workshop will explore how advanced X-ray techniques can unlock new insights into complex biological, environmental, and agricultural systems, and discuss the future scientific direction of the XLEAP beamline at CHESS. We are sponsoring XLEAP and exhibiting there.
