Brooks III Normal mode based flexible fitting of high-resolution structure into low-resolution experimental data from cryo-EM J Struct Biol 147 2004 315 326 This study uses a few of the slowest modes, determined from coarse-grained NMA of high-resolution structures, to generate new optimally deformed structures that are then fitted into cryo-EM maps. This method has been applied to cryo-EM structures of EF-G-bound ribosome, Escherichia coli RNA polymerase and the swollen state of cowpea chlorotic motile virus capsid. This type of EN/NMA-based flexible fitting seems to be a promising tool for predicting and refining cryo-EM structures, and determining the conformational changes of large structures using low-resolution structural data.

Lacapère Normal mode-based fitting of atomic structure into electron density maps: application to sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase Biophys J 88 2005 818 827 This insightful study of the use of coarse-grained NMA for docking high-resolution structures into cryo-EM densities examines the conformational transition between two forms of a large structure. The method, applied to two different atomic structures of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase, shows that only a few modes contribute to the transition between the two forms - a rotation and translation of the cytoplasmic domain with movements of the cytoplasmic loop. The paper also presents a comprehensive summary of how to select the modes that maximize the overlap with the real cryo-EM data, as well as the number of modes needed to optimize the fit.
