Figure Lengend Snippet: Basic workflow of Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM). Image collected at low dose electron can be analyzed by single-particle or sub-tomogram averaging. However, samples must be vitrified by flash-freezing.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Structural characterization of rabbit RyR1 by single-particle cryo-EM (protein data bank (PDB) ID: 5T15) and a set of commonly used predictors of intrinsic disorder. ( A ). Side view of the channel in a space-fill representation. ( B ). Membrane-side view of the channel in a space-fill representation. ( C ). Cytoplasmic-side view of the channel in a space-fill representation. ( D ). Side view of the channel in a cartoon representation. ( E ). Membrane-side view of the channel in a cartoon representation. ( F ). Cytoplasmic-side view of the channel in a cartoon representation. In these plots, the chains are colored using the rainbow schema of the PDB 3D-viewer (where the N- and C-terminal regions are colored blue and red, respectively). ( G ). Evaluation of the intrinsic disorder propensity of rabbit RyR1 (UniProt ID: P11716) by a set of commonly used disorder predictors. Presented disorder profiles were generated by PONDR-FIT (pink curve), PONDR ® VLXT (black curve), PONDR ® VSL2 (green curve), and PONDR ® VL3 (red curve) [ , , , , , ], as well as two tools from the IUPred web server for predicting short and long disordered regions (blue and yellow curves, respectively) . The dark cyan dashed line shows the mean disorder propensity calculated by averaging the disorder profiles of the individual predictors. The light pink shadow around the PONDR ® FIT shows error distribution, whereas the light cyan shadow around the mean disorder curve reflects the distribution of standard deviations. Light gray bars show positions of structurally uncharacterized regions. In these analyses, the predicted intrinsic disorder scores above 0.5 are considered to correspond to the disordered residues/regions, whereas regions with disorder scores between 0.2 and 0.5 are considered flexible.
