Depiction of models that have been used for simulations of fibrinogen with increasing level of detail: (a) ellipsoid model [11]; (b) rigid connected squares model [12]; (c) rigid linear pentamer model [13]; (d) rigid linear chain model [14,15]; (e) coarse-grained model with two hinges [17]; (f) rigid linear chain model with two side arms and different $\varphi$ angles [16]; (g) coarse-grained model from crystal structure, either completely rigid (this work [20]) or somewhat flexible [19]; and (h) atomistic model from crystal structure [17].
