Abstract

Flexible fitting based on molecular dynamics simulation is a technique for structure modeling from cryo-EM data. It has been utilized for nearly two decades, and while cryo-EM resolution has improved significantly, it remains a powerful approach that can provide structural and dynamical insights that are not directly accessible from experimental data alone. Molecular dynamics simulations provide a means to extract atomistic details of conformational changes that are encoded in cryo-EM data and can also assist in improving the quality of structural models. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations enable the characterization of conformational heterogeneity in cryo-EM data. We will summarize the advancements made in these techniques and highlight recent developments in this field.
