Cryo-ET with VPP reveals individual proteins in native settings (VIDEO)

Caption

Using cryo-ET with a Volta phase plate (VPP), we can see individual proteins in native settings of rod cells without any staining. This represents the future of structural biology. The video shows two moves that enable you to appreciate the beauty, but also the molecular information they carry.
