Dear structural biologists, I'm sure some of you have been there before: you'd like to perform docking experiments with your favorite crystal structure in your favorite cryoEM map. Only problem is, the authors of the cryoEM study simply refuse to send you their maps, and they're not available in the EMDB database.
I'm assembling a list of stories of frustration to be used at the upcoming USNCCr meeting. The idea is to get an overview of which research fields have these types of associated issues. I'll guarantee anonymity for anybody who sends me their story. I'd appreciate if you could send me the reference to the primary paper that described the cryoEM structure, as well as the specific issue and outcome (e.g. were the journal editors contacted and could they resolve the issue).
