EMICOMAT applies the icosahedral symmetry and samples the Fourier
transforms in cylindrical coordinates, generating the equations F = B G
The command procedures also show the use of mrc2vol to convert a map to
AVS usable format.
The resolution in the reconstruction is determined by the number of
annulae used in the Fourier Bessel synthesis. The data is sampled
as a set of rings. The spacing of the rings is determined by the particle
size which is set here and the sampling (NSAMP) used. Typically NSAMP is
2. Specifically
for a particle of 122 pixels diameter
if each pixel is 5A in size this will be 1/1220 A
so for a reconstruction to 50 A resolution one needs to use
for 20 A need 61annulae
The limit which can be reached depends on the amount and distribution of
data available and can be seen from the Inputs
The diameter of the particle in pixels. Default=64 pixels
an emicomat output file is generated with the same name
as the particle input fft file but the extension .mat
this new file contains the values of the coefficients
of the normal equations
Orientation of the particle. There are two possible
orientations of the particle which correspond to the
flipped and normal orientations in SIMPLEX. The
better of the two can be chosen from the error matrix.
The difference between the flipped and unflipped
orientations is acheived by adding 180 degrees.
The values of THETA, PHI and OMEGA will be returned to the
icosahedral asymmetric unit if they are outside it
a message is written to inform the user.
The default value for ANG_PER_PIXEL is taken from that
for previous images in the set. If this is the first
image the default value is 8.036 A/pix.
- only a portion of the complete
transform may be used for the scaling although the
scaling function will be applied to the entire set of
data sampled from the transform. Usually the values
close to the origin and the weak values at the edge are
excluded from the calculation of the scaling function.
an example of such a file is provided in
SINDBIS_SMOOTH.DAT
subroutines CORRF, FFITC, and SET_CORRF show the
way the coefficients are derived.
FAV will be set to the values in the provided profile
this is not a smoothed function as above but simply
a look up table of multipliers as a function of
resolution
- only a portion of the complete

an example of such a file is HARRISON_FIT.DAT
so a fit to a transform of a 700A sphere of density 1.0
with a 300 sphere of density 3.0 at its center would
be expressed
2,1.0,700.0,2.0,300.0
- exponential factor to be applied to profile in A
profile will be profile*exp(FACT(A)*RESLN(1/A))
(f)
with nsamp =2
means that each ring will be spaced at 1/244 pixels
1220A/50A = 24 annulae

- title (a)
- NTERMS (i)
- INDEX, POWER,COEFF (2i,f)
NTERMS lines which provide the list
the list of coefficients for the envelope
function. POWER>0 indicates a power of the
resolution while POWER<0 indicates a power of
cos(resolution).
- FMIN (f)
cutoff for amplitudes
- REVRAD (f)
this provides a way of correcting for phase
reversal. For resolution greater than REVRAD
the sign of the tranform value is reversed.
