Single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) has become an important method for determining macromolecular structures. It is the basis for the [[Nobel Prizes for 3D Molecular Structure#2010-2019|2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry]]. Although resolution is usually poorer than that obtained by [[X-ray crystallography]], cryo-EM has the great advantage of not requiring crystallization | Single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) has become an important method for determining macromolecular structures.
