This study explores the integration of electron microscopy (EM) maps and X-ray crystallography data to enhance structural biology analysis. We investigate how varying resolutions affect model fitting, focusing on similarities and weight adjustments for low- and high-resolution data. Utilizing the Groel-ATP7-Groes and GP6 protein examples, we demonstrate techniques to refine models through phase assignment and electron density averaging, aiming to find optimal atomic configurations and improve our understanding of protein structures.
