Figure 2. Selection of a suitable Fab to enable single particle cryoEM studies of HIV-1 IN.
(A–D): EM micrographs of HIV-1 IN in complex with four different Fabs. It is obvious that IN-Fab2 and IN-Fab5 are more homogeneous than the other two IN-Fab complexes. Inserted in (B) and (D) are representative 2D class averages of IN-Fab2 and IN-Fab5 complexes. In all 2D class averages, there are two Fabs bound to one IN dimer.
