contents Single particle cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an imaging technique capable of recovering the high-resolution 3-D structure of biological macromolecules from many noisy and randomly oriented projection images. One notable approach to 3-D reconstruction, known as Kam's method, relies on the moments of the 2-D images. Inspired by Kam's method, we introduce a rotationally invariant metric between two molecular structures, which does not require 3-D alignment. Further, we introduce a metric between a stack of projection images and a molecular structure, which is invariant to rotations and reflections and does not require performing 3-D reconstruction. Additionally, the latter metric does not assume a uniform distribution of viewing angles. We demonstrate uses of the new metrics on synthetic and experimental datasets, highlighting their ability to measure structural similarity.
