Motions and Civilization: James Watt & the two-stroke engine • James Watt’s (1736-1819) most important improvement to the reciprocating steam engine (1769 patent) was the use of the double-action principle. In this system, the steam is used first on one side of the piston, then on the other.

Interpolation Engine 1: Adiabatic Mapping with a patched X-PLOR • The molecule is deformed in a series of small steps. (For the server, we divided the distance between starting and ending positions into an equal number of steps) • Energy minimization is performed after each step to produce structures with comparable energies. • Problems arise for large deformations if the energy minimization methods cannot effectively remove the accumulated stresses ©2001 Werner G.

Testimonials 0 • “Some months ago I had submitted the coordinates of our glycerol kinase structure which revealed substantial domain motion…Well, the manuscript is heading to Biochemistry and I'd like to include a web address pointing to themorphed GK movie on your server … for the reviewers to look at…. Many thanks!” -- Dr. Cory Edward Bystrom, Ph.D. (via email) Formerly, Institute of Molecular Biology University of Oregon Presently, Senior Research Scientist New Zealand Diary Research Institute
Testimonials I • “I really like the motions database….” -- Prof. Helen M. Berman, Ph.D. (in person) Professor of Chemistry Adjunct Professor, Biological Chemistry President, American Crystallographic Association, (1989-90). Director, RCSB Protein Data Bank Rutgers University New Brunswick, N.J
Testimonials II • “I thinkyour morphing server would be a fabulouswayto get a feeling for the difference between two structureswhen RMS isn't useful.By making a movie, someone could see the ways in which two structures are similar or different. Have you used it for this purpose? This is what we wanted to do by submitting two structures to it. We have docked two tRNA structures in two different ways and wanted to "animate" the difference between the two dockings. Thanks, Russ.” -- Russ B. Altman, MD, PhD (via email) Associate Professor of Medicine (and Computer Science, by courtesy) Director, Biomedical Informatics Training Program Associate Director, Stanford Medical Scientist Training Program Thrust Leader, Molecular Science at NPACI/SDSC President, International Society for Computational Biology Stanford Medical Informatics Stanford University Medical Center 251 Campus Drive, MSOB X-215 Stanford, Ca 94305-5479
Testimonials III • “Werner, you are the master, it looks so cool!My colleagues flip out about this….Thanks again and I hope we can keep in touch, I have more stuff about moving proteins coming.” -- Prof. Dorothee Kern, Ph.D. (via email) Assistant Professor of Biochemistry Dept. of Biochemistry, MS 009 Brandeis University Waltham, MA 02454-9110, USA

conclusions • Macromolecular Database useful tool for obtaining information on protein and nucleic acid motions • Integrated morph server actually a software suite that homogenizes, interpolates, visualizes, and analyzesprotein and nucleic acid motions and stores results in database • Morph server can handle loosely related protein structures, so useful as a tool for evolutionary morphs as well as protein motions • Macromolecular Motions Database amendable to statistical analysis and automatic data-mining techniques • Data integrated into Partslist Database (http:/www.partslist.org) • Remains a fertile area of research ©2001 Werner G.
