beeta sheets are of the protein after EM, and magenta are that of the
refrence structure, you can see how this time,I am surprised myself
that sheets have become longer than the refrence structure.

I wouldn't describe what I can see there as significant change. The criterion 
any visualization program uses for assigning beta-strand vs not-strand is a 
reasonably arbitrary choice, and might differ between programs. It's quite 
plausible that EM could see a residue here and there cross a boundary if they 
were originally close.

Looking at all-atom or heavy-atom RMSD before and after EM (and maybe RMSD also 
over the subset of atoms of direct interest) is a much more reliable indicator 
that nothing has gone wrong. Off the top of my head, for a protein with no 
disordered regions, I'd expect EM on an experimental structure and normal force 
field to move about or less than 0.02nm on heavy-atom RMSD. All the EM is 
really expected to do is (e.g.) make sensible the hydrogen atoms whose 
positions were inferred or generated.
