Cryo-electron microscopy structures of pyrene-labeled ADP-Pi- and ADP-actin filaments

For almost forty years, N-(1-pyrene) iodoacetamide has been used to label actin at C374, but the mechanisms of the fluorescence changes are still unknown due to the lack of structural information. Here authors provide cryo-EM structures of actin filaments with N-1-pyrene conjugated to cysteine 374 a...
