Background:

Protein complexes are vital for molecular functions but challenging to study structurally due to flexibility.
Conventional methods like crystallization are difficult for dynamic complexes.
X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) offer potential for non-crystalline samples but face data interpretation challenges due to unknown orientations.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a hybrid approach for determining protein complex structures.
To combine X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) single particle scattering data with computational docking methods.
To assess the efficacy of this hybrid method in distinguishing native complex structures from computational decoys.

Main Methods:

Utilizing simulated XFEL single particle scattering data from protein complexes.
Employing computational docking algorithms to generate potential complex structures (decoys).
Developing a hybrid approach integrating scattering data with docking results for structure determination.

Main Results:

A small dataset of XFEL single particle scattering data at random orientations can effectively differentiate native complex structures from docking-generated decoys.
The proposed hybrid method demonstrates superior performance compared to using spherically averaged intensity profiles.
The approach is robust even with limited and low-abundance experimental XFEL data.

Conclusions:

The hybrid approach offers a viable solution for interpreting challenging XFEL scattering data from protein complexes.
This method facilitates structural determination of flexible and dynamic protein assemblies.
The approach holds significant promise for advancing structural biology research, particularly with limited experimental data.
