Overview and examples of combined use of X-ray and electron-microscopy data. Low-resolution electron-microscopy reconstructions can be used as search models in molecular replacement or may be combined with existing monomeric structures in order to produce multimeric models suitable for molecular replacement. The technique is described in the case of viral and subviral particles as well as in the case of oligomeric proteins.
