This work will help develop treatments for filovirus infections,” says Noda. A combination of cryo-electron microscopy and high-speed atomic force microscopy allows him to step through the viral ...

Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers mapped how ... the team predicted the receptor-binding affinities of three other filoviruses closely related to Sudan and Ebola.

Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate a sample and achieve much higher spatial resolution than light microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy generates an image of the ...
