Determination of membrane-protein structures using NR. (a) Proteins embedded in a substrate-supported, in-plane fluid bilayer (lower left) are measured at various solvent contrasts. (b) Integrative modeling uses diverse sources of information, such as protein crystal structures, to model the NR data using rigid-body placement algorithms that determine the penetration depth and orientation of the protein in the membrane. (c) The final model that represents experimental data from NR at different contrasts, crystallographic, volumetric and chemical connectivity information, and thus describes the atomistic protein structure in the supported bilayer.
