CryoAtom Cryo-EM Model Builder

CryoAtom builds atomic models from cryo-EM maps using local attention and 3D rotary position embedding, improving model completeness and speed while lowering resolution requirements.

CryoAtom Cryo-EM Model Builder media

CryoAtom is an approach for de novo model building from cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) density maps. It leverages advancements from AlphaFold2, replacing global attention with a local attention mechanism enhanced by a novel 3D rotary position embedding. This allows CryoAtom to produce more complete atomic models, lower the required map resolution, and significantly accelerate the modeling process compared to existing methods.
