Course description
One of the major challenges in structural biology is to determine the   
structures of macromolecular complexes and to understand their   
function and mechanism of action. However, structural characterisation  
  of macromolecular assemblies is very difficult. To begin addressing   
this problem, we have developed PyRy3D.
In a nutshell, PyRy3D employs a hybrid computational approach that   
incorporates spatial information from a variety of experimental   
methods into the modelling procedure to build low-resolution models of  
  large macromolecular complexes. The PyRy3D model building procedure   
uses a Monte Carlo approach to sample the solutions-space. It uses   
spatial restraints to define components interacting with each other,   
and a simple scoring function is applied to pack them tightly into   
contours of the entire complex (e.g. cryoEM density maps).
