The structures were then refined through a similar protocol of iterative cycles in Coot and phenix real-space refine. All solvent molecules (ions, waters) were placed manually in Coot in the central actin subunit, and were then placed in the other subunits using NCS. Because the local resolution of each F-actin reconstruction is highest in the center and lower at the periphery of the map, we inspected all waters in each structure manually before the final phenix refinement; water molecular with poor corresponding cryo-EM density were removed.
