Advanced Transmission Electron Microscopy in Drug Development
Preclinical World , 2008, p104-107

Increasingly, pharmaceutical research and development is focused on understanding and anipulating the molecular mechanisms that ultimately constitute the vastly complex machinery of all living systems. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), with its ability to directly image biological structures at the molecular scale, promises to play a crucial role in the future of drug discovery and development.

Scripps Scientists Spin Out Nanotech Imaging Business
San Diego Business Journal , March 24 2008

Researchers Clint Potter and Bridget Carragher knew that scientists needed a closer, three-dimensional look at the biomolecular structures they were working with. But it didn’t become clear there was commercial opportunity in the area until drug giant Merck & Co. sought out The Scripps Research Institute scientists for a project to characterize viruslike particles of the human papilloma virus for its recently introduced Gardasil vaccine..

Enabling 3D Imaging of Macromolecular Structures
Laboratory Equipment, October 2007, p.40-41

Living organisms are vastly complex biological machines whose functional mechanisms operate at the molecular and supramolecular scale of Angstroms and nanometers. Single-particle imaging and analysis (SPA) using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) can provide three-dimensional images of these structures, but the utility of the technique has been limited by the technically difficult and labor-intensive task of collecting the large number of images required for reconstruction, and also by the sensitivity of biological materials prone to damage by the electron beam.
