Re: [phenixbb] Automated estimation of voxel size using reference pixel size in phenix?

Oh wonderful, that is exactly what I was looking for, I will test it now! Thanks Randy! Cheers Oli

Hi Oli,

The relatively new EM_placement docking tool (phenix.voyager.em_placement) has an option to refine the voxel size as part of the likelihood-based rigid-body refinement step, and it seems to work pretty well. At the moment, this has to be done as part of a docking search, but I’m planning to implement a rigid-body refinement option for previously-placed models, which might be useful in some circumstances.

Best wishes,

Randy

Hi,

In cryoEM, the pixel size is often not known with certainty, and we need to calibrate it by measuring the real space correlation of a reference crystal structure of a component at different nominal pixel sizes.

Currently we do this manually, using `fitmap` in UCSF Chimera, but given the sophisticated set of tools in Phenix for fitting atomic models and analyzing real space correlations, I was wondering if a tool in Phenix already exists to do this, or whether there would be any interest in adding such a tool at some point?
