متن کاملTEXTAL: A Pattern Recognition System for Interpreting Electron Density Maps
X-ray crystallography is the most widely used method for determining the three-dimensional structures of proteins and other macromolecules. One of the most difficult steps in crystallography is interpreting the electron density map to build the final model. This is often done manually by crystallographers and is very time-consuming and error-prone. In this paper, we introduce a new automated sy...
متن کاملDetermining protein structure from electron-density maps using pattern matching.
TEXTAL is an automated system for building protein structures from electron-density maps. It uses pattern recognition to select regions in a database of previously determined structures that are similar to regions in a map of unknown structure. Rotation-invariant numerical values, called features, of the electron density are extracted from spherical regions in an unknown map and compared with f...
متن کاملPictorial Structures for Molecular Modeling: Interpreting Density Maps
X-ray crystallography is currently the most common way protein structures are elucidated. One of the most time-consuming steps in the crystallographic process is interpretation of the electron density map, a task that involves finding patterns in a three-dimensional picture of a protein. This paper describes DEFT (DEFormable Template), an algorithm using pictorial structures to build a flexible...
متن کاملExperimental charge density from electron microscopic maps.
The charge density (CD) distribution of an atom is the difference per unit volume between the positive charge of its nucleus and the distribution of the negative charges carried by the electrons that are associated with it. The CDs of the atoms in macromolecules are responsible for their electrostatic potential (ESP) distributions, which can now be visualized using cryo-electron microscopy at h...
