ISI research news has published an article about use of Pegasus for CryoEm electron microscopy

 

The image we’ve all now come to recognize as the COVID virus (SARS-CoV-2) – the sphere with the crown-like spikes going off in every direction – that image allowed structural biologists to understand the 3D structure of the virus at a near-atomic level, which led to the rapid development of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

And that image was only possible thanks to cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
