Comparison of Simulations to Cryo-EM Density Maps

Caption

The images above show the average density distributions over 21 DNA configurations each simulated for 100 nanoseconds of molecular dynamics after minimization using a) fully elastic and b) kinked configurations, for comparison to c) Cryo-EM density map from asymmetric phage reconstructions of P22 with capsid density graphically removed.
