Abstract

By integrating the experimental information given from the Hybrid/ Integrative methods to determine the structures of large macromolecular machines, the static and dynamic molecular models in the atomic or semi-atomic resolution have been built with the aid of bioinformatics and computer simulations. Here, review of the recent progresses of such computational methods are made with discussion for the future direction.
