New generation direct electron detector for cryo-electron microscopy

该项目旨在通过最新一代的直接电子探测器--Gatan K3相机，为低温电子显微镜提供急需的能力。该项目希望产生最高分辨率的生物和非生物材料的分子结构，包括药物靶标、纳米材料和其他电子束敏感材料。预期的结果是高影响力的发现、培训机会、国际合作以及解决生物学和制药科学基本问题的出版物。这应该会在纳米技术、制药、可再生能源和农业等广泛领域提供显著的好处。

This Project aims to generate urgently needed capabilities for cryo elctron microscopy through the newest generation direct electron detector, the Gatan K3 camera. This project expects to generate highest resolution molecular structures of biological and non-biological materials including pharmacological targets, nanomaterials, and other electron beam-sensitive materials. Expected outcomes are high impact discoveries, training opportunities, international collaborations, and publications addressing fundamental questions in biology and pharmaceutical science. This should provide significant benefits in wide ranging areas of nanotechnology, pharmacy, renewable energy, and agriculture.
