Postprocessing, resolution improvement strategies

Dear colleagues,

Is that a standard practice to do post-processing in any program (relion, etc) after getting the results of 3D refinement in the cryosparc?

What are the possible strategies to tweak the resolution even more after 3D refinement // local refinement?

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,

Yes, experimenting with different postprocessing strategies is standard practice. I would recommend apart from B-factor sharpening, to try statistical density modification in phenix.resolve_cryo_em, LocSpiral or LocalDeblur from Xmipp, and I am sure there are many others!

Cheers
Oli

Thank you Oli @olibclarke! So I will try first portprocessing in relion and LocalDeblur from Xmipp. Sincerely, D
