The EMDB is a public repository for electron microscopy density maps
of macromolecular complexes and subcellular structures. It covers a
variety of techniques, including single-particle analysis, electron
tomography, and electron (2D) crystallography.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009 has been awarded
for studies on the structure and function of the
ribosome. Ribosomes are one of the most studied
macromolecular complexes in electron microscopy, and
EMDB contains more than 50 structures of ribosomes or
ribosome-related proteins.
