The holy grail of structural biology is to study a protein in situ, and this goal has been fast approaching since the resolution revolution and the achievement of atomic resolution. A cell's interior is not a dilute environment, and proteins have evolved to fold and function as needed in that environment; as such, an investigation of a cellular component should ideally include the full complexity of the cellular environment. Imaging whole cells in three dimensions using electron cryotomography is the best method to accomplish this goal, but it comes with a limitation on sample thickness and produces noisy data unamenable to direct analysis. This thesis establishes a novel workflow to systematically analyse whole-cell electron cryotomography...
