Beyond publishing: introducing Interviews with authors

To find out what lies behind the articles published in Acta Cryst. F – Structural Biology Communications the journal now publishes interviews with its authors.

Cryo-EM sample preparation for high-resolution structure studies

Practical advice for preparing samples for use in high-resolution structure determination using cryo-electron microscopy is given.

Structural and functional characterization of FabG4 from Mycolicibacterium smegmatis

Mycolicibacterium smegmatis FabG4 (MsFabG4), a high-molecular-weight β-ketoacyl acyl-carrier-protein reductase involved in fatty-acid synthesis, was characterized structurally and biochemically. Crystal structures of apo and NAD⁺-bound MsFabG4 were determined to 1.70 and 1.80 Å resolution, respectively.
