Tracing Conformational Changes in Proteins

Many large protein complexes undergo extensive conformational changes as part of their functionality. Tracing these changes is important for understanding the way these proteins function. It is not always possible to obtain a high resolution structure for very large complexes. While many conformational search methods explore the motions of atomic resolution protein structures, little has been done to handle the abundance of coarser resolution data available.
