Abstract
The application of cryo-EM methods to study SARS-CoV-2 proteins provides a convincing demonstration of the power of cryo-EM in the arsenal of structural biology.

The rapid progress in the application of cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) methods to study SARS-CoV-2 proteins provides a convincing demonstration of the power of cryo-EM in the arsenal of structural biology
Before January 2020, of the 84 coronavirus cryo-EM structures deposited in the repository, 82 were of trimeric spike proteins
Summary
The last few years have seen spectacular growth in the widespread adoption of cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). With the advent of direct electron detectors, the number of depositions in the EM Data Bank (EMDB; https://emdb-empiar.org/) has increased steadily at a rate of ~30% every year since 2014, crossing the 10 000 mark in early 2020.
