Covalent Fragment Screening Using the Quantitative Irreversible Tethering Assay

Compounds that form covalent bonds with specific target proteins offer a variety of advantages&#160;as chemical probes and therapeutic agents. Most ...

<p class="jove_content">Sample preparation for cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a significant bottleneck in the structure determination workflow of this method. Here, we provide detailed methods for using an easy-to-use, three-dimensionally printed block for the preparation of support films to stabilize samples for transmission EM studies.</p>
