Processing details:The reconstruction was done by aligning the members of the tilt series using crosscorrelation functions, such as phase only and the VanHeel Mutual Correlation Function. The sampling in each micrographof a tilted specimen was match by interpolation to th e lower angle members of the tilt series. This matching of areas and sampling was done by a 4 parameter grid search. Once aligned and scaled, the data were combined in Fourier space using a Whittaker-Shannon interpolation scheme. The map was calculated using a reverse Fourier transformation. The software used for the reconstruction was in-house and adapted from in some cases from MRC software.
