Info

ModelAngelo is an automated model building and protein identification tool for cryo-EM maps. Uses machine learning to build atomic models and identify proteins directly from density maps without requiring a starting sequence. Developed in Sjors Scheres’s group at MRC-LMB, integrated into RELION-5. Published in Nature 2024.
