FRETsg: Biomolecular structure model building from multiple FRET experiments Original Research Article

Fluorescence energy transfer (FRET) experiments of site-specifically labelled proteins allow one to determine distances between residues at the single molecule level, which provide information on the three-dimensional structural dynamics of the biomolecule. To systematically extract this information from the experimental data, we describe a program that generates an ensemble of configurations of residues in space that agree with the experimental distances between these positions. Furthermore, a fluctuation analysis allows to determine the structural accuracy from the experimental error.
