Abstract
Quantitative data analysis is important for any single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) workflow to extract biological insights from the coordinates of the single fluorophores. However, current approaches are restricted to simple geometries or require identical structures. Here, we present LocMoFit (Localization Model Fit), an open-source framework to fit an arbitrary model to localization coordinates. It extracts meaningful parameters from individual structures and can select the most suitable model. In addition to analyzing complex, heterogeneous and dynamic structures for in situ structural biology, we demonstrate how LocMoFit can assemble multi-protein distribution maps of six nuclear pore components, calculate single-particle averages without any assumption about geometry or symmetry, and perform a time-resolved reconstruction of the highly dynamic endocytic process from static snapshots. We provide extensive simulation and visualization routines to validate the robustness of LocMoFit and tutorials to enable any user to increase the information content they can extract from their SMLM data.
