Single Particle Tomography in EMAN2

Wed PM Practical

SPT (single particle tomography) capabilities are relatively new in EMAN2. They were inspired by Michael Schmid's studies on sub-volume averaging (mostly on viruses), and a stubborn student insisting on doing extensive sub-volume averaging on chaperons.

This session will cover the beta version of a small fraction of the SPT

The session will cover:

  • 1) SPT processing through EMAN2's workflow: e2workflow.py
  • 2) Sub-volume extraction from tomograms using e2tomoboxer.py
  • 3) "Preparation" of extracted particles for alignment. [Details later. For a myriad of reasons, it is NOT recommendable to align and average sub-volumes directly after extraction without "preparing" them first].
  • 4) Reference based alignment and averaging

All necessary software is provided as part of EMAN2. If you don't have EMAN2 installed, you can download the most updated version (for your specific platform, Windows, Linux or Mac), from here:
