Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become mainstream in structural biology due to advancements in technology, significantly impacting drug discovery by bringing previously intractable targets into the realm of structure-based drug design.
Single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has been elevated to the mainstream of structural biology propelled by technological advancements in numerous fronts, including imaging analysis and the development of direct electron detectors. The drug discovery field has watched with (initial) skepticism and wonder at the progression of the technique and how it revolutionized the molecular understanding of previously intractable targets. This article critically assesses how cryo-EM has impacted drug discovery in diverse therapeutic areas. Targets that have been brought into the realm of structure-based drug design by cryo-EM and are thus reviewed here include membrane proteins like the GABA(A)receptor, several TRP channels, and G protein-coupled receptors, and multiprotein complexes like the ribosomes, the proteasome, and eIF2B. We will describe these studies highlighting the achievements, challenges, and caveats.
