Two Datasets Are Better Than One: Method of Double Moments for 3-D Reconstruction in Cryo-EM

arXiv — cs.CVMonday, December 15, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
  • A new data fusion framework, known as the method of double moments (MoDM), has been introduced for reconstructing molecular structures in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). This method utilizes two instances of the second-order moment of projection images obtained under different orientation distributions, proving that these moments can uniquely determine the underlying structure, leading to improved accuracy in molecular reconstruction.
  • The development of MoDM signifies a substantial advancement in cryo-EM techniques, highlighting the importance of collecting and modeling multiple datasets under varying experimental conditions. This approach not only enhances the quality of molecular reconstructions but also opens new avenues for research in structural biology and related fields, potentially leading to breakthroughs in understanding complex molecular structures.
