Measuring the effects of particle orientation to improve the efficiency of electron cryomicroscopy

A number of parameters influence the resolution of a cryo-EM structure. Here the authors investigate the effects of specimen orientation in single particle cryo-EM and present open-source software for rapidly assessing orientation distributions to improve data collection.
