+ ## Introduction
32
+ Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has been widely employed in experimental settings to determine multi-chain protein complexes, but modeling accuracy greatly diminishes when resolution decreases. At intermediate resolutions of 5-10 Å, even template-based structure fitting presents significant challenges. To tackle this issue, we introduce DiffModeler, a fully automated protein complex structure modeling method that leverages a diffusion model for backbone tracing and structure fitting with AlphaFold predicted single-chain structure. In extensive testing on cryo-EM maps at intermediate resolution, DiffModeler showcased remarkably accurate structure modeling, surpassing existing methods significantly. Notably, we successfully modeled a protein complex consisting of 47 chains, comprising 13,462 residues, with an impressive TM-Score of 0.9. We also further benchmarked DiffModeler for maps at low resolution of 10-20 Å and validated its generalizability with plausible performances.

+ ## Overall Protocol
35
+ 1) Backbone tracing from cryo-EM maps at intermediate resolution via diffusion model.
36
+ 2) Single-chain structure prediction by AlphaFold.
37
+ 3) Single-chain structure fitting using VESPER.
38
+ 4) Protein complex modeling by assembling algorithms.
