Imaging Proteins Through a Carbon Nano-Test Tube

Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is one of the recent methods for obtaining high-resolution images of proteins. However, this technique comes with certain limitations. Researchers developed giant carbon nano-test tubes (GCNTTs) as radiation-insulating material to address this, which helps procure high-resolution protein images without affecting the sample. This study is available in ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
