Images were acquired with a FEI Tecnai F20 equipped with a 2Kx2K CCD Tietz camera, as defocal pairs at a nominal magnification of 62,000 x and a voltage of 120 KeV, using the Leginon system ("Potter et al., 1999":http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10406132 ; "Carragher et al., 2000":http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11121305). The first image (named *.001.mrc) is acquired at near to focus (NTF) conditions (-0.6 to -1.5 µm) and the second image (named *.002.mrc) at farther from focus (FFF) conditions (-3µm). The time interval between the two exposures is approximately 20s due to the time required to read out the digital image from the camera. The pixel size is 2.238 Å at the specimen scale and the accumulated dose for each high magnification image area was ~10 e/Ų.

h2. 2. Positions of the Picked Particles in the Images

Particles are picked in the FFF images and these coordinates are used to select particle in the NTF images. Phase correlation is used to align the two images to calculate the offset between the FFF coordinates and the NTF coordinates.

h2. 2.1 Automated Picking:

30 15 Eric Hou
A two-stage approach was applied for automatic selection of GroEL particles. In the first stage, a set of candidate particles were automatically selected for each micrograph using the fast local correlation algorithm (Roseman, 2003) combined with a peak searching and thresholding algorithms. In the second stage, the set of candidate particles were filtered with a clutter finder to reject contamination (Zhu et al., 2004). The clutter finder starts with edge detection followed by connected component labeling, convex hull computation, and size filtering. Particle coordinates are provide below:

A set of 7505 particles were extracted from a set of 141 NTF micrographs whose corresponding FFF micrographs contain the first 7,505 particles of the automatically selected 16216 side-view particles. This particle set was used to create a 3D reconstruction using D7 point-group symmetry and 9 cycles of refinement.
