Automatic Detection of Beta-barrel from Medium Resolution Cryo-EM Density Maps

Cryo-electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) has become central to the study of large-scale molecular interactions and has produced three-dimensional (3D) density maps at various resolutions. Secondary structure element (SSE) identification from volumetric protein density maps is critical for de novo backbone structure derivation in cryo-EM. Multiple methods have been developed to detect helix and β-sheet from density maps at medium resolutions (~5-10Å)....
