Merged summary
TL;DR - Researchers use MS2 bacteriophage-derived protein “nanocrates” to encapsulate target proteins and reduce air–water interface artifacts during cryo-EM structure determination. This approach enables more random particle orientations, potentially improving structural reconstruction.
- Nanocrates are protein shells derived from MS2 bacteriophages.
- Encapsulation protects target proteins from air–water interface-induced artifacts.
- The method promotes random protein orientations at the interface.
- More diverse orientations can support more reliable cryo-EM structure determination.
