Rigid body fitting of atomic strucures in cryo-electron microscopy density maps
PowerFit is a Python package and simple command-line program to automatically fit high-resolution atomic structures in cryo-EM densities. To this end it performs a full-exhaustive 6-dimensional cross-correlation search between the atomic structure and the density. It takes as input an atomic structure in PDB-format and a cryo-EM density with its resolution; and outputs positions and rotations of the atomic structure corresponding to high correlation values. PowerFit uses the local cross-correlation function as its base score. The score can optionally be enhanced by a Laplace pre-filter and/or a core-weighted version to minimize overlapping densities from neighboring subunits. It can further be hardware-accelerated by leveraging multi-core CPU machines out of the box or by GPU via the OpenCL framework. PowerFit is Free Software and has been succesfully installed and used on Linux and MacOSX machines.
