TL;DR
3D cryo-electron microscopy is used to describe the conformational flexibility of molecular machines to understand their mechanics but is technically difficult to achieve.
Abstract
Acquiring information to describe the conformational flexibility of molecular machines is necessary to understand their mechanics but is technically difficult to achieve. In this issue of Structure , Chiu and colleagues effectively tackle this problem using 3D cryo-electron microscopy with impressive results.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesDynamic reorganization of the functionally active ribosome explored by normal mode analysis and cryo-electron microscopy
354 Citations2003Florence Tama, Mikel Valle +2 more
The coincidence of these dynamic transitions with the individual normal modes of the ribosome and the good correspondence between these motions and those observed in experiment suggest an underlying principle of nature to exploit the shape of molecular assemblies such as the Ribosome to provide robustness to functionally important motions.
Journal of Molecular BiologyExploring Global Distortions of Biological Macromolecules and Assemblies from Low-resolution Structural Information and Elastic Network Theory
197 Citations2002Florence Tama, Willy Wriggers +1 more
Large conformational changes as occur during the functioning of biological macromolecules and assemblies can be elucidated directly from low-resolution structural data through the application of elastic normal mode theory and vector quantization.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesHow to describe protein motion without amino acid sequence and atomic coordinates
167 Citations2002Dengming Ming, Yifei Kong +3 more
A computational method that can reliably describe the conformational flexibility of a protein in the absence of the amino acid sequence and atomic coordinates and is expected to have ample applications in related fields such as bioinformatics, structural genomics, and proteomics.
Journal of Molecular BiologyMega-Dalton Biomolecular Motion Captured from Electron Microscopy Reconstructions
119 Citations2003Pablo Chacón, Florence Tama +1 more
The striking agreement of the presented results with experimentally observed motions suggests that the motion of the large scale machinery in the cell is surprisingly independent of detailed atomic interactions and can be quite reasonably described as a motion of elastic bodies.

101 Citations1996Nigel Unwin
Close matching of the projected densities with the three-dimensional densities 25 to 35 A from the membrane, showed unequivocally that corresponding (alpha-helical) rods, which encircle the cavities in the two alpha subunits, are unequally inclined.

91 Citations2004Jacob Brink, Steven J. Ludtke +4 more
A simultaneous multiple-model refinement method is used to search for the presence of the structural conformers from the electron images of FAS and demonstrates the potential of the combination of normal mode analysis with multiple model refinement to elucidate the multiple conformations of flexible proteins.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesDomain movements in human fatty acid synthase by quantized elastic deformational model
69 Citations2002Dengming Ming, Yifei Kong +3 more
The ability to describe protein motions of a supermolecular complex, without the information of protein sequence and atomic coordinates, is a major advance in computational modeling of protein dynamics.
Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesQuaternary structure of human fatty acid synthase by electron cryomicroscopy
62 Citations2001Jacob Brink, Steven J. Ludtke +4 more
The first three-dimensional reconstruction of human fatty acid synthase obtained by electron cryomicroscopy and single-particle image processing shows that the synthase is composed of two monomers arranged in an antiparallel orientation, which is consistent with biochemical data.
