Fitting molecular fragments into electron density
Molecular replacement is a powerful tool for the location of large models using structure-factor magnitudes alone. When phase information is available, it becomes possible to locate smaller fragments of the structure ranging in size from a few atoms to a single domain. The calculation is demanding, requiring a six-dimensional rotation and translation search. A number of approaches have been dev...
متن کامل106 Fitting Electron Density by Systematic Search
A systematic search approach to the automatic refinement of protein structures could reduce the need for manual intervention. In this approach, possible conformations for a segment of the polypeptide chain are generated systematically and the trial segments are scored for their agreement with the observed diffraction data. The sampling of conformational space is sufficiently exhaustive that rea...
متن کاملFitting atomic models into electron-microscopy maps.
Combining X-ray crystallographically determined atomic structures of component domains or subunits with cryo-electron microscopic three-dimensional images at around 22 A resolution can produce structural information that is accurate to about 2.2 A resolution. In an initial step, it is necessary to determine accurately the absolute scale and absolute hand of the cryo-electron microscopy map, the...
متن کاملMultiFit: a web server for fitting multiple protein structures into their electron microscopy density map
Advances in electron microscopy (EM) allow for structure determination of large biological assemblies at increasingly higher resolutions. A key step in this process is fitting multiple component structures into an EM-derived density map of their assembly. Here, we describe a web server for this task. The server takes as input a set of protein structures in the PDB format and an EM density map i...
متن کاملFlexible fitting of atomic structures into electron microscopy maps using molecular dynamics.
A novel method to flexibly fit atomic structures into electron microscopy (EM) maps using molecular dynamics simulations is presented. The simulations incorporate the EM data as an external potential added to the molecular dynamics force field, allowing all internal features present in the EM map to be used in the fitting process, while the model remains fully flexible and stereochemically corr...
