ABSTRACT
High-resolution structures of biomolecules can be obtained using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (SPA cryo-EM), and the rapidly growing number of structures solved by this method is encouraging more researchers to utilize this technique. As with other structural biology methods, sample preparation for an SPA cryo-EM data collection requires some expertise and an understanding of the strengths and limitations of the technique in order to make sensible decisions in the sample-preparation process. In this article, common strategies and pitfalls are described and practical advice is given to increase the chances of success when starting an SPA cryo-EM project.
