中文简介: | 结构生物学的目的是从细胞中大分子相互作用的角度来解释生命过程。这些互动通常涉及两个以上的合作伙伴,并且可能长达数十个。完整的描述需要在原子水平上表征所有结构,以及这些结构在过程中的变化方式。由于细胞的拥挤环境,目前只有在体外分离和研究一组相互作用的分子(通常被组织成过程中的“分子机器”)时,才能进行这种高分辨率的表征。虽然X射线晶体学提供了大量分子结构的结构,但对衍射到高分辨率的晶体的需求严重限制了生物分子的数量和可以用该技术研究的构象的范围。单粒子冷冻电子显微镜即将填补这一空白,使人们能够在不限制结构的情况下对功能过程进行详细研究。现在有很多例子可以说明结构生物学向功能过程的完整表征的扩展。单粒子冷冻电镜的未来发展包括通过时间分辨技术研究非平衡系统中的短寿命中间体,以及使用来自大分子图像集合的数据挖掘来表征连续结构变化。 |
课程简介: | The aim of Structural Biology is to explain life processes in terms of macromolecular interactions in the cell. These interactions typically involve more than two partners, and can run up to dozens. A full description will need to characterize all structures on the atomic level, and the way these structures change in the process. Because of the crowded environment of the cell, such high-resolution characterization is presently only possible when the group of interacting molecules (often organized into processive “molecular machines”) is isolated and studied in vitro. While X-ray crystallography has provided structures of a large number of molecular structures, the need for crystals diffracting to high resolution has severely limited the number of biological molecules and the range of conformers that can be studied with this technique. Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy is about to fill this gap, allowing functional processes to be studied in great detail without imposing restraints on the structures. There are many examples now for this expansion of Structural Biology toward a full characterization of a functional process. Future developments of single-particle cryo-EM include the study of short-lived intermediates in a nonequilibrium system by time-resolved techniques, and the characterization of continuous structural changes using data mining from large ensembles of molecule images. |
