The single-particle analysis is a structure-determining method for electron microscope (EM) images which does not require crystal. In this method, the projections are picked up and averaged by the images of similar Euler angles to improve the signal to noise ratio, and then create a 3-D reconstruction. The selection of a large number of particles from the cryo-EM micrographs is a pre-requisite for obtaining a high resolution. To pickup a low-contrast cryo-EM protein image, we have recently found that a three-layer pyramidal-type neural network is successful in detecting such a faint image, which had been difficult to detect by other methods. The connection weights between the input and hidden layers, which work as a matching filter, have revealed that they reflect characters of the particle projections in the training data. The images stored in terms of the connection weights were complex, more similar to the eigenimages which are created by the principal component analysis of the learning images rather than to the averages of the particle projections. When we set the initial learning weights according to the eigenimages in advance, the learning period was able to be shortened to less than half the time of the NN whose initial weights had been set randomly. Further, the pickup accuracy increased from 90 to 98%, and a combination of the matching filters were found to work as an integrated matching filter there. The integrated filters were amazingly similar to averaged projections and can be used directly as references for further two-dimensional averaging. Therefore, this research also presents a brand-new reference-free method for single-particle analysis. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
