RCH Achieves AWS Life Sciences Competency
Leading Cloud solutions exclusively for Life Sciences teams that accelerate discovery, optimize costs and ensure scalability and compliance in AWS.
Cryo-Electron Microscopy (CryoEM) continues to become an increasingly important technique in the field of structural biology, offering unprecedented insights into the molecular structures of biomolecules. Its ability to visualize complex macromolecular assemblies at near-atomic resolution has made it a transformative tool in drug discovery and development within the BioPharma industry. However, the complexity of CryoEM data analysis requires specialized expertise and a robust computational infrastructure, built on best practices and for scale. This is where a comprehensive and specialized advanced and scientific computing provider like RCH Solutions, with deep CryoEM expertise, can add immense value, and also where single-focused providers with only Cryo-EM specialization fall short.
Understanding CryoEM: A Brief Overview
CryoEM involves the flash-freezing of biomolecules in a thin layer of vitreous ice, preserving their native state for high-resolution imaging. This technique bypasses the need for crystallization, which is a significant limitation in X-ray crystallography. CryoEM is particularly advantageous for studying large and flexible macromolecular complexes, membrane proteins, and dynamic conformational states of biomolecules.
Key benefits of CryoEM in BioPharma include:
