VirtualIce v2.0.0beta
Multiple structures can now be requested (structure sets).
- Use the same --structures flag followed by either a single structure or multiple. Supports any number of structure sets, like this:
- virtualice.py -s 1TIM [1PMA, 50882] [my_structure1.mrc, 3DRE, 6TIM]
- The above command will make one set of micrographs with only PDB 1TIM, another set with PDB 1PMA and EMD-50882, and another set with a local file (my_structure1.mrc), PDB 3DRE, and PDB 6TIM.
- Preferred orientation, particle distributions, and overlapping & aggregated particles are fully supported.
- Filtering of edge, overlapping, and obscured particles is fully supported.
- Coordinate files are saved independently in .star, .mod, and/or .coord files (one per structure in a structure set).
This update is significant because it allows for ground-truth datasets of heterogeneous proteins - e.g. continuous or discrete conformations, compositional heterogeneity, or completely different proteins.
