Advances in high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) require the development of validation metrics to independently assess map quality and model geometry. We report EMRinger, a tool that assesses the precise fitting of an atomic model into the map during refinement and shows how radiation damage alters scattering from negatively charged amino acids. EMRinger (https://github.com/fraser-lab/EMRinger) will be useful for monitoring progress in resolving and modeling high-resolution features in cryo-EM.
高分辨率冷冻电子显微镜(cryo-EM)技术的进步需要开发验证指标,以独立评估图谱质量和模型几何结构。我们报告了EMRinger,这是一种在精修过程中评估原子模型与图谱精确拟合度的工具,并展示了辐射损伤如何改变带负电荷氨基酸的散射。EMRinger(https://github.com/fraser-lab/EMRinger)将有助于监测在解析和建模冷冻电子显微镜高分辨率特征方面的进展。
