Advancements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have enabled us to understand biological processes at the atomic level and design proteins not found in nature. This workshop will present and discuss cutting-edge research achievements, focusing on cryo-EM structural analysis of proteins and nucleic acids, and the development of novel proteins using these innovative technologies
