PHASE FLIPPING AND AMPLITUDE CORRECTION141141For the initial analysis, ca. 2,000 particle images were selected manually with e2boxer and extracted and normalized with relion 1.4 followed by 2D-classification and ctf-correction. Three characteristic class averages that resolved the two parts of the twin particle (side views and intermediate views) were selected as references for template-dependent automatic particle picking in Relion. Particle images were extracted at the determined coordinates with a box size of 300 x 300 Px and normalized for their grey value distribution followed by 2D-classification. Some of the 2D-classes showed disconnected twin particles or single capsids. These classes probably represented either adjacent capsids from different twin particles or incorrectly centered particles and were excluded from the subsequent analysis. 141141 particles is the number of automatically selected particles; 69685 were retained for he subsequent processing
