Bendix: intuitive helix geometry analysis and abstraction

Bendix: intuitive helix geometry analysis and abstraction

UNLABELLED The flexibility of α-helices is important for membrane protein function and calls for better visualization and analysis. Software is presented that quantifies and projects the helix axis evolution over time, with the choice of uniform or analytic heatmap graphics according to the local geometry. Bendix supports static, molecular dynamics, atomistic and coarse-grained input. AVAILAB...

Intuitive Geometry Workshop and Intuitive Geometry Day in Calgary (August 31, 2007-September 3, 2007)

This two-day workshop was organized to provide a much desired opportunity to share research findings in the interconnected fields that are represented in Intuitive Geometry. The term Intuitive Geometry was coined by László Fejes Tóth to denote those geometric disciplines in which the unifying theme is that their problems themselves can be explained fairly easily, even to an advanced high school...

Unsolved Problems in Intuitive Geometry

An Algorithm for Protein Helix Assignment Using Helix Geometry

Helices are one of the most common and were among the earliest recognized secondary structure elements in proteins. The assignment of helices in a protein underlies the analysis of its structure and function. Though the mathematical expression for a helical curve is simple, no previous assignment programs have used a genuine helical curve as a model for helix assignment. In this paper we presen...

Formal and Rigid Geometry: an Intuitive Introduction, and Some Applications

We give an informal introduction to formal and rigid geometry over complete discrete valuation rings, and we discuss some applications in algebraic and arithmetic geometry and singularity theory, with special emphasis on recent applications to the Milnor fibration and the motivic zeta function by J. Sebag and the author.
