Using a Krios G4 Cryo-TEM equipped with a Thermo Scientific Selectris X Imaging Filter, structural biologists achieved record-breaking resolution results, featured on the cover of Nature and other recent articles from Science and Nature. Scientists from the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, obtained a 1.2 ångström resolution structure of the iron-storing protein apoferritin. They also achieved a 1.7 ångström resolution of membrane protein (GABA receptor), with an even sharper resolution in key parts of the protein. This human membrane protein has target sites for general anesthetics, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and neuroactive steroids, making it very relevant to structure-based drug discovery. In addition to the resolution leap, the Selectris technology can also significantly impact productivity. By having a better filter and camera, you can achieve a specific resolution with much less data
