Learning from Hetero Density for Cryo-EM Protein Reconstruction

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.11403v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reconstructing protein structures from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) maps is essential for understanding macromolecular assemblies. Although learning-based methods have improved protein reconstruction, information from hetero components remains underused. Our analysis finds both false predictions and reference protein sites near hetero components; filtering nearby candidates can improve or impair chain construction. We introduce CryoCue, a framework that uses hetero information to guide protein reconstruction. An anchor-supervised detector learns hetero representations across five component classes. Multiscale hetero features guide backbone localization, while predicted hetero candidates condition structure refinement through their class
