This two-fold axis runs perpendicular to the helical axis. For the final structure, a filter was applied to the map in order to compensate for resolution-dependent amplitude falloff. To do so, we built a model by arranging UraA in a helical assembly in order to mimic the mass distribution in Bor1p tubes. Fourier transforms from this model and from the experimental maps were then rotationally averaged to produce 1D scattering profiles. The resolution-dependent amplitude ratio from these profiles was used as a filter that was applied to the experimental amplitudes using SPARX routines. Finally, a low-pass filter was applied with a 5 Angstrom stop-band frequency.
