Interactive electron-density map interpretation: from INTER to O.
نویسنده
چکیده
A short review of the author's computer-graphics developments since 1976 is presented. Some of the major developments in these programs are reviewed and a description is provided of some of the more recent tools that can be used for electron-density map interpretation. These tools include a secondary-structure template-building system that works in conjunction with a new sequence-decoration system.

Three-dimensional pattern recognition: an approach to automated interpretation of electron density maps of proteins.
A proaedure is outlined for reducing the high resolution electron density map of a protein to a set of connected thin lines which follow the density. The side chain representations are removed from this skeleton leaving primarily main chain, disulfido bridges and very strong hydrogen bonds. Crystallographic and local operators are used to separate one protein molecule from the neighboring chain...
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 کاملStructure-Based Protein-Ligand Binding
This lecture first talked about the uncertainty and dynamics in the protein-ligand docking, and then reviewed some methods for flexible protein-ligand docking. In this subsection, we will talk about the possible uncertainties in crystal structures from X-ray diffraction. Interpretation of X-ray raw data. The raw diffraction data are generally converted to an electron density map by inverting th...
متن کاملAutomated nucleic acid chain tracing in real time
The crystallographic structure solution of nucleotides and nucleotide complexes is now commonplace. The resulting electron-density maps are often poorer than for proteins, and as a result interpretation in terms of an atomic model can require significant effort, particularly in the case of large structures. While model building can be performed automatically, as with proteins, the process is ti...
متن کاملFrom Electron Density and Sequence to Structure: Integrating Protein Image Analysis and Threading for Structure Determination
This paper presents a computational methodology for integrating techniques from protein image interpretation and protein sequence threading, applied to the problem of structure determination from experimental X-ray crystallographic electron density maps. In the proposed architecture, image interpretation of an electron density map produces candidate structural segments; threading is applied to ...
