Abstract

3D modelling is crucial for the study of proteins, but very complicated. Homology-modelling is the preferred, but imperfect, approach. Many errors in the details of protein structure can only be detected when structure validation tools are used in combination with experimental data. This project concentrates on the validation of structures solved either by X-ray, or NMR. The validation software will provide automatic feedback to protein structure refinement software so that re-refinement of (old) structures with modern software will be possible in cases where the experimental data is available.
