Getting a Structure from Multiple Tomograms of HIV Capsids

From Dynamo
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The aim of this exercise is to get familiar with managing multiple tomograms through the Dynamo catalogue and to develop good strategies for alignment projects to reach a reasonable structure from a set of tomograms. This is an exercise and not a tutorial or walkthrough. Therefore only a few hints on how to proceed are given. The idea is that you come up with your own solutions by applying the knowledge that you acquired during the workshop to a more realistic case. It is recommended to get familiar with at the advanced starters guide and the lattice walkthrough before starting this exercise.

Data

We prepared a set of 6 tomograms, each containing one VLP. (empiar id, paper)

Goal

Reach a resolution at around 10 angstrom, i.e., alpha helices should start to be visible in the final average. Hexamer.

Hints

Based on lattice walkthrough. Parameters. Use GPU on sciCORE.
