Cryogenic Disruption of Yeast Cells

At the Ernst Ruska-Centre-3 (ER-C-3) for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons, one of the institutes of the renowned Forschungszentrum Jülich, researchers harness the power of cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography to answer important questions regarding the structure and function of biological membranes and membrane-associated protein complexes. To this end, various cellular systems, including yeast, are used as models to study the membrane systems of interest.
