New Methods for the Integrative Dynamic Modeling of Biomolecular Structures

The true understanding of most cellular functions is only really achievable through the structural determination of their underlying macromolecular assemblies. However, their size, large number of individual components and metastable states make their eluc ...

CLoNe: automated clustering based on local density neighborhoods for application to biomolecular structural ensembles

Matteo Dal Peraro, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Deniz Aydin, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti, Sylvain Träger

Motivation: Proteins are intrinsically dynamic entities. Flexibility sampling methods, such as molecular dynamics or those arising from integrative modeling strategies, are now commonplace and enable the study of molecular conformational landscapes in many ...

Modelling structures in cryo-EM maps

Matteo Dal Peraro, Sylvain Träger

Recent advances in structure determination of sub-cellular structures using cryo-electron microscopy and tomography have enabled us to understand their architecture in a more detailed manner and gain insight into their function. The choice of approach to u ...

Disentangling constraints using viability evolution principles in integrative modeling of macromolecular assemblies

Dario Floreano, Matteo Dal Peraro, Matteo Thomas Degiacomi, Andrea Maesani, Giorgio Elikem Tamo, Sylvain Träger

Predicting the structure of large molecular assemblies remains a challenging task in structural biology when using integrative modeling approaches. One of the main issues stems from the treatment of heterogeneous experimental data used to predict the archi ...

Clathrin regulates centrosome positioning by promoting acto-myosin cortical tension in C. elegans embryos

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone, Kalyani Thyagarajan, Sylvain Träger

Regulation of centrosome and spindle positioning is crucial for spatial cell division control. The one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo has proven attractive for dissecting the mechanisms underlying centrosome and spindle positioning in a metazoan organi ...
