Shipping of biomacromolecules to synchrotrons, cryoEM and sample-preparation facilities is often overlooked and has the potential to erase months and years of hard work. Here, guidelines and procedures are provided to ensure that samples arrive intact and safely at their destination.

Structures of NAD(P)H nitroreductases from K. pneumoniae were determined at resolutions of 1.97, 1.90 and 1.35 Å.
The crystal structures of the 3C proteases from Coxsackievirus B3 and Coxsackievirus B4 were determined at 2.10 and 2.01 Å resolution, respectively. The structures reveal the presence of a typical chymotrypsin-like fold and a conserved catalytic triad, which are similar to those observed in 3C proteases from other enteroviruses.
