Single-particle reconstruction is the process by which 3D density maps are obtained from a set of low-dose cryo-EM images of individual macromolecules. This review considers the fundamental principles of this process and the steps in the overall workflow for single-particle image processing. Also considered are the limits that image signal-to-noise ratio places on resolution and the distinguishing of heterogeneous particle populations.
单颗粒重构是从一组单个大分子的低剂量冷冻电镜图像中获取三维密度图的过程。本综述探讨了该过程的基本原理以及单颗粒图像处理总体工作流程中的各个步骤。还讨论了图像信噪比在分辨率和区分异质颗粒群体方面所带来的限制。
