The cold field emission (CFE) beam produces the less-attenuated contrast transfer function of electron microscopy, thereby enhancing high-resolution signals and this particularly benefits higher-resolution single particle cryogenic electron microscopy. Here, we present a sub-1.2 [A] resolution structure of a standard protein sample, apoferritin. Image data were collected with the CFE beam in a high-throughput scheme while minimizing beam tilt deviations from the coma-free axis. A difference map reveals positive densities for most hydrogen atoms in the core region of the protein complex including those in water molecules, while negative densities around acidic amino-acid side chains likely represent negative charges. The position of the hydrogen densities depends on parent bonded-atom type, which is validated by an estimated level of coordinate errors.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
