Hi Jay,

In cryoSPARC, you can try the new 3D Variability Analysis (3DVA) algorithm
that can directly resolve continuous heterogeneity and flexibility from
single particle data. We've recently written a paper about the algorithm
and how to interpret results (preprint:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.08.032466v1__;!!Mih3wA!TcYCUD_wBUr5IORGTt-uKmJtnjAN7is2w2qHfWKXW5ewtmxRcaG0CfJN6xQiqEm9CQ$ ) and there are
a couple of detailed tutorials online as well (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://cryosparc.com/docs/tutorials/3d-variability-analysis__;!!Mih3wA!TcYCUD_wBUr5IORGTt-uKmJtnjAN7is2w2qHfWKXW5ewtmxRcaG0CfJN6xQykYwUEg$ ). The
algorithm has been used in several published studies to date and can
resolve flexible dynamics even for smaller proteins eg. GPCR complexes.
You may also be interested in related discussions ongoing on the cryoSPARC
discussion forum (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://discuss.cryosparc.com/__;!!Mih3wA!TcYCUD_wBUr5IORGTt-uKmJtnjAN7is2w2qHfWKXW5ewtmxRcaG0CfJN6xR2x7wM2Q$ ).

Thanks,
Ali Punjani
