PS Poly: A chain tracing algorithm to determine persistence length and categorize complex polymers by shape
Fig 8
The output of PS-Poly for shape categorization.
(A) Input AFM image of Candidalysin. The scale bar is 200 nm and the greyscale spans 12 nm. (B) Output for shape categorization is shown in tabular format. Two types of artifacts are identified, high points, defined as any point on a particle that is above 1.5 times the average height of the polymer backbone in the image and noise particles, defined as any particle in which 80% or more of the pixels are above 1.5 times the average height of the polymers in the image.
