After each iteration, the non-icosahedral parts (which included the lipids and the RNA) in the reconstruction were removed by a soft-edged mask derived from an icosahedrally organized, protein-only map that was low-pass filtered to 30 Angstroms. This map then served as the reference model for the next iteration.

METHOD--all-atom refinement REFINEMENT PROTOCOL--all-atom refinement against cryo-EM density DETAILS--ROSETTA was used to refine the full-length E1 and E2 and all of the structured part of CP. ROSETTA uses the cryo-EM density as a restraint, along with energy minimization, to eliminate steric clashes and assure proper molecular geometry.
