Imaging Details Sample was screened using negative staining and Cryo-EM on a screening microscope for sample readiness assessment before automated high-throughput and high-resolution data collection on Titan Krios. Multiple batches of Cryo-EM specimen were prepared in order to deal with the orientation preference. The calibrated minimum/maximum defocus were the calculated minimum and maximum of images that with contaminants or broken ice.
