Electron cryomicroscopy can be used to cause membrane proteins to become closely packed at very low temperatures into two-dimensional crystalline arrays within the plane of a membrane. The structures of such proteins are then determined from combined, high-resolution electron microscope images of many different protein molecules taken at various angles. This process is called __________.
