Abstract

Motivation: Maximum-likelihood (ML) image refinement is a promising candidate to improve attainable resolution limits in 3D-EM. However, its large CPU requirements may prohibit application to 3D-structure optimization.

Results: We speeded up ML image refinement by reducing its search space over the alignment parameters. Application of this reduced-search approach to a cryo-EM dataset yielded practically identical results as the original approach, but in approximately one day instead of one week of CPU.
