Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows for the high-resolution visualization of biological macromolecules. However, the technique is limited by a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and variance in contrast at different frequencies, as well as reduced Z resolution. Here, we applied entropy-regularized deconvolution (ER-DC) to cryo-ET data generated from transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and reconstructed using weighted back projection (WBP). We applied deconvolution to several in situ cryo-ET datasets and assessed the results by Fourier analysis and subtomogram analysis (STA).
冷冻电子断层扫描(cryo-ET)可实现生物大分子的高分辨率可视化。然而,该技术受到低信噪比(SNR)和不同频率对比度变化的限制,以及 Z 分辨率降低的限制。在这里,我们将熵正则化反卷积(ER-DC)应用于透射电子显微镜(TEM)产生的 cryo-ET 数据,并使用加权反向投影(WBP)进行重建。我们将反卷积应用于几个原位 cryo-ET 数据集,并通过傅里叶分析和亚颗粒分析(STA)评估结果。
