Most proteins in cells are composed of multiple folding units (or domains) to perform complex functions in a cooperative manner. Relative to the rapid progress in single-domain structure prediction, there are few effective tools available for multi-d...
Advances in microscopy instruments and image processing algorithms have led to an increasing number of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps. However, building accurate models into intermediate-resolution EM maps remains challenging and labor-inten...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is an imaging technique that enables 3D visualization of the native cellular environment at sub-nanometer resolution, providing unpreceded insights into the molecular organization of cells....
INTRODUCTION The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the molecular conduit in the nuclear membrane of eukaryotic cells that regulates import and export of biomolecules between the nucleus and the cytosol, with vertebrate NPCs ~110 to 125 MDa in molecular m...
INTRODUCTION The eukaryotic nucleus pro-tects the genome and is enclosed by the two membranes of the nuclear envelope. Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) perforate the nuclear envelope to facilitate nucleocytoplasmic transport. With a molecular weight of ...

Cryo-electron tomography, combined with subtomogram averaging (STA), can reveal three-dimensional (3D) macromolecule structures in the near-native state from cells and other biological samples. In STA, to get a high-resolution 3D view of macromolecul...
Cellular function is underlined by megadalton assemblies organizing in proximity, forming communities. Metabolons are protein communities involving metabolic pathways such as protein, fatty acid, and thioesters of coenzyme-A synthesis. Metabolons are...
Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) visualizes the 3D spatial distribution of macromolecules at nanometer resolution inside native cells. However, automated identification of macromolecules inside cellular tomograms is challenged by noise and rec...
In cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data collection, locating a target object is error-prone. Here, we present a machine learning-based approach with a real-time object locator named yoneoLocr using YOLO, a well-known object detection system. Imple...
