Fast rotational matching methods for the structure determination of mega-dalton subcellular machines

Since 2004 the research centre Jülich participates in the project "Fast rotational matching methods for the structure determination of mega-dalton subcellular machines". This work is part of an international collaboration with partners in Japan, France and the USA. It is supported by a grant from the Human Frontier Science Program (Grant RGP0026/2003). Within this project our group is working on SenSitus , a program for the interactive fitting of high-resolution structures (e.g. proteins) into low-resolution density distributions of macromolecular complexes. This program also employs virtual reality techniques (namely "haptic rendering" and stereoscopic view).
