This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources
provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject
and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources,
including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely
represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject,
not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff.
To understand the cell, we need to determine the structures of
macromolecular assemblies, many of which consist of tens to hundreds of components.
A great variety of experimental data can be used to characterize the
assemblies at several levels of resolution, from atomic structures to component
configurations. To maximize completeness, resolution, accuracy, precision and efficiency
of the structure determination, a computational approach is needed that can
use spatial information from a variety of experimental methods. We propose such
an approach, defined by its three main components: a hierarchical representation of
the assembly, a scoring function consisting of spatial restraints derived from experimental
data, and an optimization method that generates structures consistent with
the data. We are using this approach to obtain a more accurate model of the seven member Nup84 complex from the budding yeast nuclear pore complex. A paper describing this work is in preparation.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
