    Buffalo News article features BioXFEL Director Ed Lattman describing the “Apollo effect” caused by BioXFEL and the potential impact on increasing student participation in STEM areas locally.

  • New Publication in PNAS Discusses Conformational Movies and Energy Landscapes

    Here we present a new analytical approach capable of determining the free-energy landscape and the continuous trajectories of molecular machines from a large number of snapshots obtained by cryogenic electron microscopy. We demonstrate this approach in the context of experimental cryogenic electron microscope images of a large ensemble of nontranslating ribosomes purified from yeast cells.
