Abstract
We introduce fracture-flip, a method of obtaining high-resolution views of membrane surfaces. The method, a corollary of label-fracture, is based on the stabilization of the exoplasmic halves of membranes by carbon evaporation. Inversion of these casts followed by Pt/C imaging leads to new views of the cell surface at macromolecular resolution.Entities:
