"A measure for the identification of preferred particle orientations in cryo-electron microscopy data: A simulation study"

【Significance】
Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) enables to reconstruct the three-dimensional electron density map of a biomolecule using two-dimensional electron-density maps, experimentally sampled via electron beam irradiation of vitreous ice in which the biomolecules were embedded. However, preferred biomolecular orientations in the vitreous ice often hamper the reconstruction. Thus, it is necessary to identify whether cryo-EM data is obtained from the biomolecules adopting a preferred orientation. Here we propose a measure for the identification based on the manifold learning. It is found that our measure can certainly identify that the biomolecules adopt preferred orientations, suggesting a usefulness of the measure.
