DA DAMMIN
- Variable number of “dummy atoms” on a fixed grid
- Scattering is computed using spherical harmonics
- Monte-Carlo type search
- Fixed search space (defined by Dmax)
- Provides volume/molecular mass estimate
- Idea first published by P. Chacón et al. (1998) Biophys J 74
Svergun, D.I. (1999) Biophys J 76
DA DAMMIF
- Variable number of “dummy atoms” on a fixed grid
- Scattering is computed using spherical harmonics
- Monte-Carlo type search
- Expandable search space
- Provides volume/molecular mass estimate
- 40 time faster than DAMMIN

GASBOR
- Fixed number of “dummy residues”
- Distances to neighbor “residues” like in proteins
- Fixed search space
- Scattering is computed using Debye formula
- Higher angles used (up to 12 nm-1)
- Only for proteins smaller than 660 kDa

Ab initio model validity
First validate your sample and input data! Check for:
– monodispersity; – radiation damage; – aggregation; – concentration effects; – overall parameters; – signal-to-noise level.
Make sure your model fits the data. Repeat multiple times.
Ab initio model validity
Original body Typical solution with P5 symmetry Typical solution with no symmetry
Ab initio model validity

Shape determination of 5S RNA: six DAMMIN models yielding identical fits
Ab initio model validity
- Superimpose models by
minimizing the Normalized Spatial Discrepancy (NSD)
- Steps
- Principle axes alignment
- Gradient minimization
- Local grid search
SUPCOMB SUPALM
- Aligns models in Fourier space using spherical
harmonics representation
- For MDa size particles – about 10 times faster than
SUPCOMB
Ab initio model validity
- Superimpose and find the “most probable” model
and outliers (DAMSEL)
- Average all models and make a filtered model
(DAMFILT) → may not fit the experimental data! DAMAVER DAMCLUST
- Clusters similar models
- A single cluster (plus outliers) – less ambiguous
reconstruction
- More than one cluster – more ambigous
