MOLREP: an Automated Program for Molecular Replacement
نویسنده
چکیده
MOLREP is an automated program for molecular replacement which utilizes effective new approaches in data processing and rotational and translational searching. These include an automatic choice of all parameters, scaling by Patterson origin peaks and sott resolution cutoff. One of the cornerstones of the program is an original full-symmetry translation function combined with a packing function. Information from the model already placed in the cell is incorporated in both translation and packing functions. A number of tests using experimental data proved the ability of the program to find the correct solution in difficult cases.

Model preparation in MOLREP and examples of model improvement using X-ray data
The success of molecular replacement is critically dependent on the quality of the search model. Several model-preparation procedures are integrated in the molecular-replacement program MOLREP. These include model modification on the basis of amino-acid sequence alignment and model correction based on analysis of the solvent-accessibility of the atoms. The packing function used in MOLREP for th...
متن کاملSpherically averaged phased translation function and its application to the search for molecules and fragments in electron-density maps.
The molecular-replacement method has been extended to locate molecules and their fragments in an electron-density map. The approach is based on a new spherically averaged phased translation function. The position of the centre of mass of a search model is found prior to determination of its orientation. The orientation is subsequently found by a phased rotation function. The technique also allo...
متن کاملFrom electron microscopy to X-ray crystallography: molecular-replacement case studies
Multi-component molecular complexes are increasingly being tackled by structural biology, bringing X-ray crystallography into the purview of electron-microscopy (EM) studies. X-ray crystallography can utilize a low-resolution EM map for structure determination followed by phase extension to high resolution. Test studies have been conducted on five crystal structures of large molecular assemblie...
متن کاملMolecular replacement
The CCP4 Study Weekend 2007 was held at the University of Reading. Its focus was on the most widely used macromolecular crystallographic phasing technique, molecular replacement (MR). As the number of three-dimensional structures in the PDB increases dramatically so does the popularity and applicability of this technique. Therefore, it was timely to organize this popular gathering on this techn...
متن کاملRapid automated molecular replacement by evolutionary search.
A new procedure for molecular replacement is presented in which an efficient six-dimensional search is carried out using an evolutionary optimization algorithm. In this procedure, a population of initially random molecular-replacement solutions is iteratively optimized with respect to the correlation coefficient between observed and calculated structure factors. The sensitivity and reliability ...
