Other Details Auto-refinement was then performed while optimizing the helical twist and rise. Auto-refinement with refinement of twist and rise yielded a final map with a twist of -0.847 degree and rise of 4.874 angstrom. Iterative cycles of CTF refinement, Bayesian polishing, and auto refinement were used until resolution estimates stabilized. Post processing in RELION was performed with a soft-edged mask representing 10% of the central Z length of the fibril. Sharpening was applied with a B-factor of -31 square angstrom.
