Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Macromolecular Assemblies is the first systematic introduction to single-particle methods of reconstruction. It covers correlation alignment, classification, 3D reconstruction, restoration, and interpretation of the resulting 3D images in macromolecular assemblies. It will be an indispensable resource for newcomers to the field and for all using or adopting these methods.

Key Features
* Presents methods that offer an alternative to crystallographic techniques for molecules that cannot be crystallized
* Describes methods that have been instrumental in exploring the three-dimensional structure of
* the nuclear pore complex
* the calcium release channel;
* the ribosome
* chaperonins

5.0 out of 5 stars Crash Course in Single Particle Microscopy, February 20, 2002
This review is from: Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy of Macromolecular Assemblies (Hardcover)
This concise and easy to read book is essentialy a crash course in single particle reconstruction by electron microscopy. It isn't exactly a how-to manual, more an overview of how the whole process works. Thus, it is useful not only to someone who wants to learn how to do this, but also to those who might be interested in deciding if this technique would be useful to them. And actually, the whole topic is sufficiently cool that I would recommend the book even to people who know they will never use this technique, just because its fun to read about it. The book is clearly written and doesn't assume alot of prior knowledge. A basic undergrad education in math would be enough to handle the equations.
