Every electron counts⚛️! Researchers have determined the structure of the protein rubredoxin at an unprecedented 0.43 Ångström resolution. The method could now allow routine quantum crystallography of biological macromolecules. 👇More about this major advancement: www.mpinat.mpg.de/5314392/rn_2...
The image shows a valence electron deformation map of archaeal rubredoxin at 0.43 Ångström resolution: Refinement of the archaeal rubredoxin structure with the DiSCaMB transferable aspherical atom model (TAAM) library connected to BUSTER directly reveals quantum mechanical phenomena. The rubredoxin protein model (sticks) is surrounded by the electron density map (blue to red: low to high density). This valence electron deformation map derived from model refinement reveals electrons in the midpoint of chemical bonds and (valence) electron lone pairs.

Most PDB structures report one set of coordinates. But the experimental data behind them, in both X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM, is produced by an ensemble of structures. How to extract this ensemble data at scale has been a quest in structural biology for 40+ years.
