NOTE THAT OUR LOWEST RESOLUTION DATA IS AT INVERSE 1 MICRON. NUMBER OF FOURIER COEFFICIENTS IS ALMOST A HALF MILLION. THESE COORDINATES WERE FIT TO AVERAGED SUBVOLUMES OBTAINED FROM A DUAL AXIS TOMOGRAM. THE ACTIN FILAMENT WAS GENERATED TO HAVE THE HELICAL SYMMETRY OF 28 SUBUNITS IN 13 TURNS OF THE 5.9 NM HELIX. THE FITTING WAS DONE MANUALLY USING THE CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC MODEL FITTING PROGRAM O.
