Dear Xavier, in addition to Rob and Israel's excellent suggestions you may also want to have a look at Garib's account in Chapter 11 here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/bookseries/methods-in-enzymology/vol/579 Best wishes, Arjen On Friday, 31 August 2018, F.Xavier Gomis-Rüth wrote: > Dear

Dear Xavier, dear all, good points indeed. I guess the aim is to refine an atomic model against a cryo-EM map so that the atomic model describes the experimental data well, aiming for a good final geometry, refined B-factors etc. of the atomic model. Here is a description of what we recently

Dear Xavier, I recommend having a look at a few of the articles that were published in the special issue of Acta Cryst D from June this year - Proceedings of the third CCP-EM Spring Symposium. https://journals.iucr.org/d/issues/2018/06/00/ Best regards, Rob -- Original Message --

Dear all, is there some kind of general trend if not consensus as how to refine cryo-EM structures? What do people do for maps in the 3-4Å range, pure RSR against the untouched map and that's it? Reciprocal space refinement against the backtransformed structure factors from the map but
