Vero-E6suggested: NoneSoftware and Algorithms Sentences Resources The genes of 3HB and foldon were synthesized by Genewiz, Suzhou, China. Genewizsuggested: (GENEWIZ, RRID:SCR_003177)The stacks were motion corrected with MotionCor2 59 and binned 2-fold, resulting in a pixel size of 1.087 Å/pixel. MotionCor2suggested: (MotionCor2, RRID:SCR_016499)After 2D classification with Relion, good particles were selected and subjected to two cycles of heterogeneous refinement without symmetry using cryoSPARC 66. cryoSPARCsuggested: (cryoSPARC, RRID:SCR_016501)The good particles were selected and subjected to Non-uniform Refinement (beta) with C1 symmetry, resulting in the 3D reconstruction for the whole structures that were further subjected to 3D classification, 3D auto-refinement and post-processing with Relion. Relionsuggested: (RELION, RRID:SCR_016274)The fitted atomic models were further manually adjusted with Coot 70. Cootsuggested: (Coot, RRID:SCR_014222)Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your data.
