[3dem] [ccpem] Correlation coefficient em structures

[Marin van Heel]

Hallo Eike,

Steve is right... complicated topic!

You may want to look at some of the original papers on this issue:

1) George Harauz and Marin van Heel, Exact filters for general geometry 
three dimensional reconstruction, Optik 73 (1986) 146-156.
2) Marin van Heel and George Harauz, Resolution criteria for three 
dimensional reconstructions, Optik 73 (1986) 119-122
3) Marin van Heel, Similarity measures between images, Ultramicroscopy 
21 (1987) 95-100.
4) Marin van Heel, Michael Schatz, and Elena Orlova, Correlation 
functions revisited, Ultramicroscopy 46 (1992) 304-316.
5) Marin van Heel: Unveiling ribosomal structures: the final phases. 
Current Opinions in Structural Biology 10 (2000) 259-264.

My 5 cents...

Marin.

PS There are more pennies in my purse, and I can provide you with the 
pdfs if needed.
