EMBL\u2019s Cryo-EM Service Platform<\/a> has an outstanding record of producing high-quality cryo-EM structures, and gives scientists access to state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology and methods in cryo-EM. EMBL experts will carry out data collection in close consultation with users, for both single-particle and cryo-electron tomography projects. The team operating the platform has published a call to the international research community, encouraging laboratories working on COVID-19 to submit proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Cryo-EM Service Platform is part of a wide range of structural biology services offered by EMBL on four of its sites. EMBL Grenoble and EMBL Hamburg provide support for X-ray-related experiments, in close collaboration with the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble and the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg. At both sites, synchrotron beamlines are complemented by facilities for the preparation and crystallisation of biological samples. At Grenoble, a Titan Krios microscope installed at the ESRF and run jointly by the four institutes on Grenoble\u2019s EPN campus is available via peer-reviewed access granted by the ESRF Beamtime Allocation Review Panel. EMBL Heidelberg provides access to the Cryo-EM Service Platform, and to advanced facilities for sample preparation and data analysis. This range of services for external users will be offered from 2021 at the EMBL Imaging Centre. EMBL\u2019s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton, UK, provides additional support through its data repositories (PDB, EMDB, and EMPIAR).<\/p>\n\n\n
