Title: Atomic-resolution structures from fragmented protein crystals with the cryoEM method MicroED

Abstract

Crystallographic analysis of macromolecules depends on large, well-ordered crystals, which often require significant effort to obtain. Even sizable crystals sometimes suffer from pathologies that render them inappropriate for high-resolution structure determination. Here we show that fragmentation of large, imperfect crystals can provide a simple path for high-resolution structure determination by serial femtosecond crystallography or the cryoEM method MicroED.
