Avoiding Local Optima in Single Particle Reconstruction
In single-particle reconstruction, a 3D structure is reconstructed from a large number of randomly oriented 2D projections, using techniques related to computed tomography. Unlike in computed tomography, however, the orientations of the projections must be estimated at the same time as the 3D structure, and hence the reconstruction process can be error-prone, converging to an incorrect local op...
متن کاملParticle segmentation algorithm for flexible single particle reconstruction
As single particle cryo-electron microscopy has evolved to a new era of atomic resolution, sample heterogeneity still imposes a major limit to the resolution of many macromolecular complexes, especially those with continuous conformational flexibility. Here, we describe a particle segmentation algorithm towards solving structures of molecules composed of several parts that are relatively flexib...
متن کاملVolumetric restrictions in single particle 3DEM reconstruction
3D electron microsscopy aims at the reconstruction of density volumes corresponding to the electrostatic potential distribution of macro-molecules. There are many factors limiting the resolution achievable when this technique is applied to biological macromolecules: microscope imperfections, molecule flexibility, lack of projections from certain directions, unknown angular distribution, noise, ...
متن کاملZernike phase plate cryoelectron microscopy facilitates single particle analysis of unstained asymmetric protein complexes.
Single particle reconstruction from cryoelectron microscopy images, though emerging as a powerful means in structural biology, is faced with challenges as applied to asymmetric proteins smaller than megadaltons due to low contrast. Zernike phase plate can improve the contrast by restoring the microscope contrast transfer function. Here, by exploiting simulated Zernike and conventional defocused...
متن کاملMonolayer purification: a rapid method for isolating protein complexes for single-particle electron microscopy.
Visualizing macromolecular complexes by single-particle electron microscopy (EM) entails stringent biochemical purification, specimen preparation, low-dose imaging, and 3D image reconstruction. Here, we introduce the "monolayer purification" method, which employs nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) functionalized lipids for simultaneously purifying His-tagged complexes directly from cell lysa...
