Abstract
Sixty years ago the first protein structure was determined by John Kendrew and his colleagues, that of myoglobin; haemoglobin followed shortly thereafter. For quite some time it seemed that only X-ray crystallography would be capable of determining the structure of proteins to high resolution. In recent years, cryo- electron microscopy has emerged as a viable alternative and indeed in many cases the preferred approach. It is capable of studying proteins which span a size range from several megadaltons to proteins as small as myoglobin and haemoglobin. Copyright 2017. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
