PowerFit Webserver

PowerFit fits your 3D structures in any map!

PowerFit automatically fits high-resolution atomic structures into cryo-EM densities.
To this end it performs a full-exhaustive 6-dimensional cross-correlation search between the atomic structure and the density. It takes as input an atomic structure in PDB- or mmCIF-format and a cryo-EM density with its resolution; and outputs positions and rotations of the atomic structure corresponding to high correlation values. PowerFit uses the local cross-correlation function as its base score. The score is by default enhanced with an optional Laplace pre-filter and a core-weighted version to minimize overlapping densities from neighboring subunits.

POWERFIT GPU accelarated grid-enabled server

Average run time in minutes (5 runs each, excluding pre- and post-processing, and queued time) for fitting chain C of the GroEL-ES complex (PDB: 3zpz, 525 residues) into the corresponding map (EMD-2325, Resolution: 8.9 Å, Estimated Volume: 936 nm³) with a rotational sampling interval of 5° and 10°, submitted to the local CPU and grid GPGPU resources via the PowerFit web server.

Powerfit Webinar: Watch the 11th BioExcel Webinar on “Robust solutions for cryoEM fitting and visualisation of interaction space”. This Webinar presented by the PowerFit team features a comprehensive overview about the general methodology and algorithms behind PowerFit. Furthermore it provides a quick introduction to the PowerFit web portal implementation including a live demo of the portal.
