RELION: Implementation of a Bayesian approach to cryo-EM structure determination

Sjors H. W. Scheres · 19 Sep 2012

RELION, for REgularized LIkelihood OptimizatioN, is an open-source computer program for the refinement of macromolecular structures by single-particle analysis of electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) data. Whereas alternative approaches often rely on user expertise for the tuning of parameters, RELION uses a Bayesian approach to infer parameters of a statistical model from the data. This paper describes…

Gctf: Real-time CTF determination and correction

Kai Zhang · 20 Nov 2015

Accurate estimation of the contrast transfer function (CTF) is critical for a near-atomic resolution cryo electron microscopy (cryoEM) reconstruction. Here, a GPU-accelerated computer program, Gctf, for accurate and robust, real-time CTF determination is presented. The main target of Gctf is to maximize the cross-correlation of a simulated CTF with the logarithmic amplitude spectra (LAS) of…

Journal of Structural Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Journal of Structural Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Journal of Structural Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Journal of Structural Biology use?
Journal of Structural Biology uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Journal of Structural Biology, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Journal of Structural Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Journal of Structural Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Journal of Structural Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Journal of Structural Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Journal of Structural Biology?
Journal of Structural Biology is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Journal of Structural Biology template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Journal of Structural Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Journal of Structural Biology template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Journal of Structural Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the Journal of Structural Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Journal of Structural Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
