Rigid body modellingHuge amount of structural
information about individual
macromolecules
Large macromolecular complexes
are difficult to study by high
resolution methods
High resolution models of subunits
can be used to model the
quaternary structure of complexes
based on low resolution methods

Adding missing fragments
Flexible loops/domains• Not resolved in high resolution models
• Genetically removed to facilitate crystallization
Reconstruct the missing part
to fit the experimental data
BUNCH
BUNCH: Petoukhov & Svergun (2005) Biophys J. 89, 1237-1250
• Positions/orientations of rigid domains
• Probable conformations of flexible linkers
represented as “dummy residue” chains
• Fits multiple scattering curves from partial
constructs (e.g. deletion mutants)
• Symmetry
• Allows to fix domains
• Restrain the model by contacts between
specific residues
• Only single chain proteins (no complexes)

Words of caution
• SAS is a low resolution method
• Several shapes may yield an identical scattering
pattern
• Even with– information about contacting residues from other methods (spin
labelling, site-directed mutagenesis, FRET, chemical shifts etc.)
– symmetry
– no steric clashes
one must cross-validate SAS models against all
available biochemical/biophysical information
• The sample is never perfect
