Abstract

Metadynamics electron microscopy metaInference (MEMMI) is an integrative structural biology method that enables a rapid and accurate characterization of protein structural dynamics at the atomic level and the error in the cryo-EM experimental data, even in cases where conformations are separated by high energy barriers. It achieves this by incorporating (a) cryo-electron microscopy electron density maps with (b) metadynamic-enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics. Here, I showcase the setup and analysis protocol of MEMMI, used to discover the atomistic structural ensemble and error in the cryo-EM electron density map of the fuzzy coat of IAPP, a fibril implicated in type II diabetes.
