Proteins, especially those involved in signaling pathways are composed of functional modules connected by linker domains with varying degrees of flexibility. To understand the structure-function relationships in these macromolecules, it is helpful to visualize the geometric arrangement of domains. Furthermore, accurate spatial representation of domain structure is necessary for coarse-grain models of the multi-molecular interactions that comprise signaling pathways.
