Reconstruction by filtered least squares
Projection every 1° (181 projections) Number of observational equations is 161 x 181=29141 Order of normal matrix 17645. Problem should be well determined
Oops!!
Case 2. Projection every 3°, not enough data to invert the normal matrix. How much data is there? To determine the rank of a positive (semi) definite matrix we determine its eigenvalue spectrum
Decorated actin at 13Å resolving power calculated by filtered least squares
Electron cryo-microscopy (of decorated actin) shows how strong binding of myosin to actin releases nucleotide Holmes, Angert, Kull, Jahn, Schroeder (2003) Nature 425, 423-427

It must bind to actin strongly or weakly The myosin motor domain must move the lever arm from pre- to post- power stroke. It must bind to actin strongly or weakly Both functions are controlled by ATP binding and hydrolysis
Crystallography on the motor domain (particularly Dictyostelium Myosin 2) shows two conformations of myosin: lever UP and lever DOWN
