Presentation Transcript

  1. Site Recognition on Protein Structures using Alpha Shapes Research Project Midterm Report CSC 870, Spring 2007 Philipp Richter Undergraduate Student

  2. Alpha Shapes - Recap • What is an Alpha Shape? • It is a Triangulation of a Point Set (here: 3 dimensional) • It is used to model the surface of a point set • APPLET

  3. Alpha = 0.0 (no triangulation)

  4. Alpha = 5.0

  5. Alpha = 20.0

  6. Site Recognition - Introduction • What is a site on a protein? • A 3 dimensional region on the surface of a protein with a functional role • Why are sites important? • Because a lot information about the function of the protein can be derived from its sites

  7. Site Recognition - Introduction • So what exactly do we like to recognize? • Binding sites that look like pockets or clefts in the surface of the protein
