A knowledge-driven approach for crystallographic protein model completion

A novel method that uses the conformational distribution of Cα atoms in known structures is used to build short missing regions (‘loops’) in protein models. An initial tree of possible loop paths is pruned according to structural and electron-density criteria and the most likely loop conformation(s) are selected and built.
