Molecular Microscopy Consortium

Services

The Molecular Microscopy Consortium allows scientists from NIEHS, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Duke University to use single particle cryo-electron microscopy and other tools in molecular microscopy to solve macromolecular structures at the atomic level. Cryo-EM requires smaller quantities of material than other structural methods and is especially suitable for the study of hard to crystallize large macromolecular complexes and membrane proteins.

Available Training

Local scientists interested in receiving training from the NIEHS Cryo-Electron Microscopy Core Facility must contact Mario Borgnia.

This video shows how the NIEHS Cryo-EM Facility generates 3D images of large proteins. (3:53)
