Macromolecular Crystallography for Synthetic Abiological Molecules: Combining xMDFF and PHENIX for Structure Determination of Cyanostar Macrocycles.
Crystal structure determination has long provided insight into structure and bonding of small molecules. When those same small molecules are designed to come together in multimolecular assemblies, such as in coordination cages, supramolecular architectures and organic-based frameworks, their crystallographic characteristics closely resemble biological macromolecules. This resemblance suggests t...
متن کاملStructure-assisted discovery of Variola major H1 phosphatase inhibitors.
Variola major virus, the causative agent of smallpox, encodes the dual-specificity H1 phosphatase. Because this enzyme is essential for the production of mature virus particles, it is an attractive molecular target for the development of therapeutic countermeasures for this potential agent of bioterrorism. As a first step in this direction, the crystal structure of H1 phosphatase has been deter...
متن کاملTopological atomic displacements, Kirchhoff and Wiener indices of molecules
We provide a physical interpretation of the Kirchhoff index of any molecules as well as of the Wiener index of acyclic ones. For the purpose, we use a local vertex invariant that is obtained from first principles and describes the atomic displacements due to small vibrations/oscillations of atoms from their equilibrium positions. In addition, we show that the topological atomic displacements co...
متن کاملCrystallographic refinement of ligand complexes
Model building and refinement of complexes between biomacromolecules and small molecules requires sensible starting coordinates as well as the specification of restraint sets for all but the most common non-macromolecular entities. Here, it is described why this is necessary, how it can be accomplished and what pitfalls need to be avoided in order to produce chemically plausible models of the l...
متن کاملAnalysis of Molecular Interactions Using the Thermophoresis Method and its Applications in Neuroscience and Biological Processes
Introduction: Molecular interactions play an important role in the phenomenon and biological processes. In fact, any cellular biological process ranged from genetic replication to the production of various proteins to the transmission of neurological, hormonal, membrane involves collections of molecular interactions that occur continuously. Interference in each of these processes at every stage...
متن کاملMethodology and applications of automatic electron-density map interpretation by six-dimensional rotational and translational search for molecular fragments.
The electron density for a search fragment and for the crystal is expanded in the space of spherical harmonics Bessel functions. The fast rotation function is evaluated for each grid point to test if the fragment can be orientated there. For the best scoring points, the six-dimensional coordinates of the fragment are refined by the second-derivative block-diagonal procedure. The method is able ...
