To generate ensemble models, the complete intasome model was iteratively relaxed - using two-fold symmetry and a combination of Rosetta and Phenix - against one half map (the working map) and inspected for consistency with the second half map (the free map). The model was then adjusted manually using Coot. Final ensemble modeling used half maps for all aspects of refinement and evaluation: 500 models were generated as described using Rosetta. From the 100 top-scoring models (scored by Rosetta energy), the ten models with the best map-to-model FSC were selected and refined in real space using secondary-structure restraints in Phenix. Molprobity was used throughout the refinement process.
