Cryoelectron microscopy of biological molecules is among the hottest growth areas in biophysics and structural biology at present, and Frank is arguably the most distinguished practitioner of this art. CryoEM is likely over the next few years to take over much of the structural approaches currently requiring X-ray crystallography, because one can now get good and finely detailed images of single molecules down to as little as 200,000 MW, covering a substantial share of the molecules of greatest biomedical research interest. This book, the successor to an earlier work published in 1996 with Academic Press, is a natural companion work to our forthcoming book on electron crystallography by Robert Glaeser, with contributions by six others, including Frank. A growing number of workers will employ CryoEM for structural studies in their own research, and a large proportion of biomedical researchers will have a growing interest in understanding what the capabilities and limits of this approach are.
Booknews For new users of electron microscopes for investigating molecular-scale structures, a systematic introduction to the single-particle methods of reconstruction, focusing on random- conical reconstructions as developed at the State University of New York in Albany. Among the techniques are two-dimensional averaging, multivariate statistical analysis and classification of images, three-dimensional reconstructions, and interpreting images. The calcium release channel is described as an example of applications. An appendix discusses software implementations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
