Visualization and Representation • Which program do you want to use? • At which density (contour) level are you going to present your structure? • How will you show people what you see?
105 softwares! http://molvis.sdsc.edu/visres/molvisfw/titles.jsp#C
Density (contour) level • Volume is very sensitive to small changes in contour level, which in turn is sensitive to scaling and CTF correction. • As a guide, workers typically need to contour at about 120% of the expected volume in order to obtain a surface that makes biological sense.
EV71(+Fab) 2.0 1.0 0.5
CVB3-CAR 1.0 0.5 2.0
How to show them? • We should present the structure in a way which makes people can see what we see.

Reliability of Difference Imaging • Two maps must be calculated to the same resolution and scaled in such a way that the differences are minimized. • Double-check with another difference-map from independent reconstructions for same structure. • Results around symmetry axes and low radius region can mislead your interpretation.

Modeling and Comparison with X-Ray Structures Constrained fitting of an atomic model to low-resolution electron microscopic images can yield “pseudo-atomic precision” in which model atoms could, it was proposed, be placed with an accuracy of 4- to 5-fold better than the nominal experimental resolution, i.e. 4 Å detail could be interpreted from a map at 20 Å resolution. F. Fabiola et al. 2005 Structure
General outline • Absolute magnification of the reconstruction • accurate pixel size, comparison with X-ray • Matching variation in density through the reconstruction to that in the X-ray structure • Convolve x-ray structure with CTF and match resolution • If possible, mask out extra part of EM reconstruction and adjust two maps by comparing Fourier transforms of the projections of those maps • Normalize EM map for positive and same range of density values as the corresponding X-ray map • Maximum-entropy approach can be used for the treatment of CTF effects
Interactive fit between the EM density and the X-ray structure • Quality of the fit : hand of the structure • Single rigid body vs multiple domains • Assessment of the quality and uniqueness of the fit • R-factor : a measure of the agreement between two maps • Refinement in reciprocal space and in real space by objective method
Popular search and refinement methods • Global search for initial configuration • SITUS, COAN, and DOCKEM • Final refinement • URO, NMFF-EM, and RSRef • Methods bridging between search and refinement • EMFIT, SITUS, and CHARMM

Phasing of X-Ray Data with EM Data • The Phase Problem of X-ray crystallography • Classic technique to solve the Phase Problem • MIR, multiple isomorphous replacement • Useless if the crystal is not isomorphous • EM map can be used to help solve the phase problem by applying molecular replacement • Similar molecule's phases are grafted onto the intensities which are experimentally determined
