Three Dimensional Electron Microscopy 2012

The 2012 Gordon Research Conference on Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy (3DEM) will present leading research in three-dimensional structure determination of biological entities. The meeting will highlight recent progress in the areas of single particle/multiparticle cryo-EM, electron tomography, and electron microscopy of ordered assemblies/2D electron crystallography. As seen by the rapid increase in the number of structures determined, 3DEM is a key method in structural biology and cell biology and is unique in allowing determination of structure and conformational dynamics of a wide variety of specimen ranging form macromolecules and macromolecular assemblies to viruses, organelles and whole cells in their native environment.
