Native protein complexes have garnered interest as targets for structural dissemination. Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) with its ability to image protein mixtures is the most promising tool to enable structural proteomics. Additionally, image processing has evolved to deal with conformational and compositional heterogeneity. Integrative approaches, namely mass spectrometry in conjunction with cryoEM have made it possible to characterize and identify complex mixtures. However, this comes at a cost of generating models and interpreting mass spectra. Here we present a modified approach that only requires electron micrographs and a computer for unsupervised model building and protein identification. We were able to identify co-purified membrane proteins, resulting in a novel structure and unexpected nanodisc assemblies, which imply direct interaction between membrane proteins and membrane scaffolding proteins.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
