 ====== How to use SPHIRE Helical ====== ====== How to use SPHIRE Helical ======
  
-Before you start the processing helical data, you have to switch to the Helical version of SPHIRE. Your do that in the general settings area.+<note> 
 +This is the very first HowTo for filamentous reconstruction.   
 +Note that we do not impose or require any information about the helical symmetry of your data.   
 + 
 +--- 
 + 
 +Another more detailed Tutorial including a filamentous test dataset will follow soon.

 +Before you start the processing helical data, you have to switch to the Helical version of SPHIRE.  
 + 
 +You can do that in the general settings area or start the GUI with **sphire %%--%%helical**.

 +**Follow the in-depth tutorial** 
 + 
 +Follow the steps of the normal [[downloads:sphire_1_3#tutorial|SPA Tutorial]] for the steps **up to** the 3D refinement. 
 +The information about the filament width should be filled out by default for these steps.

 +When you reached the step for 3D refinement:

 +{{ :howto:helical_refinement_unfilled.png?600 |}} 
 + 
 +Fill out the information like in the **SPA** tutorial. 
 + 
 +A short description for the additional options:   
 +  * **Theta min [degree]** - Minimum Theta to use during the EXHAUSTIVE step.  (This should be kept to 90 for filamentous samples) 
 +  * **Theta max [degree]** - Maximum Theta to use during the EXHAUSTIVE step.  (This should be kept to 90 for filamentous samples) 
 +  * **Group name for chunks** - The random chunks are created based on this header entry name. 
 +  * **Outlier group ID** - Outlier calculation is performed after every iteration. For now, they are only calculated, but not applied automatically. 
 +  * **Helical rise [A]** - Approximate helical rise of the protein. This information is used to limit the x/y-shift range in every iteration during the refinement. 
 + 
 +A more detailed tutorial combined with a test dataset will follow soon.
