Optimizing the connectivity of protein conformations to untangle ensemble refinement

Proteins naturally adopt multiple conformations in mediating cellular processes, and ensemble models are used to fit X-ray crystallography data that captures this heterogeneity. In practice, ensemble refinement produces only minor improvements in agreement with experimental data (R-free) over single-conformation models. It has recently been shown that ensemble models are universally trapped, or…
