TLDR
A fast fitting program, “gmfit”, which employs a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to represent approximated shapes of the 3D density map and the atomic models and was able to rebuild atomic models of a complex even for maps of 30 Å resolution if sufficient numbers of Gaussian distribution functions were employed for each subunit.

Inferential optimization for simultaneous fitting of multiple components into a CryoEM map of their assembly.

TL;DR: MultiFit is described, a method used for simultaneously fitting atomic structures of components into their assembly density map at resolutions as low as 25 A and can provide initial configurations for further refinement of many multicomponent assembly structures described by electron microscopy.

Finite Mixture Models

TL;DR: Finite mixture models as mentioned in this paper provide a natural way of modeling continuous or discrete outcomes that are observed from populations consisting of a finite number of homogeneous subpopulations, which are abundant in the social and behavioral sciences, biological and environmental sciences, engineering and finance.

Comparative assessment of large-scale data sets of protein-protein interactions.

TL;DR: Comprehensive protein–protein interaction maps promise to reveal many aspects of the complex regulatory network underlying cellular function and are compared with each other and with a reference set of previously reported protein interactions.

Proteomics to study genes and genomes

TL;DR: Proteomics can be divided into three main areas: protein micro-characterization for large-scale identification of proteins and their post-translational modifications; ‘differential display’ proteomics for comparison of protein levels with potential application in a wide range of diseases; and studies of protein–protein interactions using techniques such as mass spectrometry or the yeast two-hybrid system.

The crystal structure of the asymmetric GroEL–GroES–(ADP) 7 chaperonin complex

TL;DR: The structure of the GroEL–GroES–(ADP)7 complex reveals how large en bloc movements of the cis ring's intermediate and apical domains enable bound GroES to stabilize a folding chamber with ADP confined to the cisRing, suggesting a model for an ATP-driven folding cycle that requires a double toroid.
