Ice thickness is arguably one of the most important factors limiting the resolution of protein structures determined by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The amorphous atomic structure of the ice that stabilizes and protects biological samples in cryo-EM grids also imprints some additional noise in cryo-EM images. Ice that is too thick jeopardizes the success of particle picking and reconstruction of the biomolecule in the worst case and, at best, deteriorates eventual map resolution. Minimizi ...[more]
