HermiteFit
A new docking algorithm for rapid fitting atomic structures into cryo-EM density maps
Functional Description: HermiteFit is a new docking algorithm for rapid fitting atomic structures into cryo-EM density maps using 3D orthogonal Hermite functions. HermiteFit uses the cross-correlation or the Laplacian-filtered cross-correlation as the fitting criterion. HermiteFit exhaustively rotates the protein density in the Hermite space and then converts the expansion coefficients into the Fourier space for the subsequent fast FFT-based correlation computations.
