Samples behave in a strange way on the grid, and even if you were to collect grids in triplicate how would you link your observations to what is happening in the test tube? </div>

Perhaps component A has high affinity to the grid bars and always aggregates there. Even multiple independent grids wouldn't show you that -- so making a claim about enzymatics from cryo-EM is not straightforward.</div>

<div>Hi, <br>
<br>
when performing enzymatic assays, we look at triplicates and we can observe some degree of variation between experimental triplicates (also between biological triplicates but no exactly the topic is this question). Sometimes, I even wonder how homogeneous my
purified protein is in the tube, and if I pipet a true homogeneous solution. <br>
<br>
When we observe the same solution under the microscope, is it the same population of particles in 2D/3D classes and in the test tube?
<br>
If we see 40% of conformation A, and 60% of conformation B in initial/crude 3D classification, can we make the claim that it represents the actual population as in lipuid?
<br>
I was also wondering if conformation A and B would enter foilholes similarly or if some conformations enter holes more preferentially?
<br>
<br>
I couldn't find litterature on the matter, but I image it's been looked at; could you point me to the right refences?
<br>
<br>
This discussion on micro-domains in solution, or micro-concentration of particles in liquid, becomes more vivid when using pico-liters type of deposition on grids as we see coming (spotiton, etc...). Should we then collect 3 grids to link to structural enzymology?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your comments. <br>
Best<br>
Vincent <br>
