Abstract
In this work, conditions were selected for obtaining a sample of eukaryotic chaperonin TRiC
suitable for studying by cryo-electron microscopy. Using the method of differential scanning
(time-resolved) fluorimetry, the temperature stability of protein samples at different concentrations of salt and glycerol was compared, and then the selected conditions were used to prepare the
sample for microscopy. As a result, the structure of bovine TRiC in an open conformation was
obtained at 4.42 Å resolution.
