Description

In the absence of extraneous and stochastic data artifacts, differences between X-ray diffraction snapshots of a biomolecule arise from changes in object orientation and conformation. Using the X-ray Free Electron Laser data from the PR772 virus, collected at SLAC National Laboratory, we show that a manifold embedding technique can extract the structure and map the conformational spectrum of this virus. The ability to determine and sort conformational heterogeneity is thus essential for a reliable determination of the three-dimensional structure in single-particle experiments.
