Advancing Cryo-EM with Mass Photometry: Accurate Mass Measurements for Macromolecular Structures

September 16, 2024 3 min read

Cryo-EM’s strength lies in its ability to image macromolecular structures at high resolution. But structural images alone can sometimes be misleading or incomplete. For instance, even though Cryo-EM reveals a protein complex’s shape and arrangement, there might be questions about its composition or if certain subunits are missing. This is where mass measurements become vital. Knowing the mass of a macromolecule adds another layer of validation—one that’s essential for accurate interpretation.
