Multicolor single particle reconstruction of protein complexes
Single-particle reconstruction (SPR) from electron microscopy images is widely used in structural biology, but lacks direct information on protein identity. To address this limitation, we developed a computational and analytical framework that reconstructs and co-aligns multiple proteins from 2D super-resolution fluorescence images. We demonstrate our method by generating multi-color 3D reconstructions of several proteins within the human centriole and procentriole, revealing their relative locations, dimensions and orientations.
