| Shrnutí: | High-resolution atomistic structures of many large biomolecular complexes have not yet been solved by experiments, such as X-ray crystallography or NMR. Often however low-resolution information is obtained by alternative techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy or small-angle X-ray scattering. Coarse-grained (CG) models are an appropriate choice to computationally study these complexes given the limited resolution experimental data. One of the important questions therefore is how to define CG representations from these low-resolution density maps. This work provides a space-based essential dynamics coarse-graining (ED-CG) method to define a CG representation from a density map without detailed knowledge of its underlying atomistic structure and primary sequence information. This method is demonstrated on G-actin (both the atomic structure and its density map). It is then applied to the density maps of the Escherichia coli 70S ribosome and the microtubule. The results indicate that the method can define highly CG models that still preserve functionally important dynamics of large biomolecular complexes. |
