Measurement of charges and chemical bonding in a cryo-EM structure

Abstract Hydrogen bonding, bond polarity, and charges in protein molecules play critical roles in the stabilization of protein structures, as well as affecting their functions such as enzymatic catalysis, electron transfer, and ligand binding. These effects can potentially be measured in Coulomb pot...
