The Divide and Conquer procedure illustrated using a model of a rotavirus particle (PDB entry 4v7q, EMDB entry EMD-5199; Settembre et al., 2011) visualized using PyMOL (Schrödinger). (a) The input macromolecule is split into individual chains. (b) For each chain, the adjacent contacting chains are identified and included for the refinement of the target chain. Each such substructure is masked in order to identify an appropriate box size for use in refinement. (c) After parallel refinement of each individual substructure, all of the target chains are extracted and recombined into the macromolecular complex. |
