This paper in IUCrJ by Chojnowski, et al., presents "an automated pipeline for the identification of protein sequences from cryo-EM reconstructions and crystallographic data." While there are several components in the pipeline, a key element "is the computer program findMySequence that identifies the most plausible protein sequence in a sequence database, given an electron-density map or cryo-EM reconstruction and a main-chain-only model." |
