Coarse grain modeling: On computer and wood

Eschweiler et al recently published the work on deriving the structural model of the Urease activation complex, comprised of 18 subunits, using data from ion mobility mass spectrometry and integrative modeling. One of the lab members and co-author in the paper, Sugyan, loved the coarse representation of such huge protein complex that he decided to…
