Macromolecular Structure Database Group Projects - Welcome to IIMS!


The overall goal of IIMS is to develop a system to integrate the results of three-dimensional electron microscopy (3D-EM) with models from X-ray and NMR methods.

Publications

These include:

  •  Presentation to Gordon Research Conference, 2001 (URL)
  •  Editorial comments on the project from the journal Nature Structural Biology (PDF)
  •  Recent recommendations and aims relating to the project, following the IIMS workshop (see below), in a meeting review published in the journal Structure (PDF)
  •  A description of the project in the journal Trends in Biochemical Sciences (PDF)

3D-EM database

The NEW 3D-EM database provides a facility for storing volume maps, relevant textual descriptors and data files containing figures and sections. Where applicable the database also contains layer-line data and structure factor files. For further information go to (3D-EM Data Format)

Deposition to 3D-EM database

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/emdep

Atomic coordinate data from EM studies should be deposited in the existing Protein Data Bank (PDB). For further information go to (EM@PDB)
