Cryo-EM atomic model refinement using CryoNet.Refine v1

This protocol describes the installation and use of CryoNet.Refine for density-guided refinement of atomic models against cryo-electron microscopy maps. It covers software setup, preparation of an aligned starting model and density map, execution of refinement, and inspection and validation of the resulting model. A human CNT3 example demonstrates the workflow and produces a refined mmCIF model for comparison with the starting structure. Users can then apply the same procedure to their own aligned model–map pairs.

Abstract

This protocol describes the installation and use of CryoNet.Refine for density-guided refinement of atomic models against cryo-electron microscopy maps. It covers software setup, preparation of an aligned starting model and density map, execution of refinement, and inspection and validation of the resulting model. A human CNT3 example demonstrates the workflow and produces a refined mmCIF model for comparison with the starting structure. Users can then apply the same procedure to their own aligned model–map pairs.
