The overall quality of the experimentally determined structures contained in the PDB is exceptionally high, mainly due to the continuous improvement of model building and structural validation programs. Improving reproducibility on a large scale requires expanding the concept of validation in structural biology and all other disciplines to include a broader framework that encompasses the entire project. A successful approach to science requires diligent attention to detail and a focus on the future. An earnest commitment to data availability and reuse is essential for scientific progress, be that by human minds or artificial intelligence.

Cryo-electron microscopy(cryo-EM)is a powerful method to visualize high resolution structures of biomolecules under physiological condition. Since cryo-EM images represent conformational ensemble of the target biomolecule, cryo-EM is applicable to analyze the biomolecular dynamics such as metastable conformations and/or free-energy landscape in conformational changes. Here, we briefly introduce our method to deduce free-energy landscape of biomolecules from cryo-EM images and compare it with other existing methods.
