Structure determination
While many good textbooks are available on Protein Structure, Molecular Simulations, Thermodynamics and Bioinformatics methods in general, there is no good introductory level book for the field of Structural Bioinformatics. This book aims to give an introduction into Structural Bioinformatics, which is where the previous topics meet to explore three dimensional protein structures through computational analysis. We provide an overview of existing computational techniques, to validate, simulate, predict and analyse protein structures. More importantly, it will aim to provide practical knowledge about how and when to use such techniques. We will consider proteins from three major vantage points: Protein structure quantification, Protein structure prediction, and Protein simulation & dynamics. The main emphasis of this work is to provide a background on experimental techniques for protein structure determination. The focus is set on X-ray crystallography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR), which are by far the main methods used to determine the structure of soluble proteins. We will also introduce cryogenic Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) and electron diffraction which are more suited to analyze membrane proteins and larger protein complexes. At the end, more qualitative techniques are summarized that are used to obtain insight on the overall structure and dynamics of proteins. Note that this introduction to protein structure determination aims at familiarizing the reader to different experimental techniques, their benefits and bottlenecks, but that a thorough mathematical and technical description of the concept is beyond the scope of this work.

Mass spectrometry for semi-experimental protein structure determination and modeling
The structure of proteins is essential for its function. The determination of protein structures is possible by experimental or predicted by computational methods, but also a combination of both approaches is possible. H…
Protein Structure PredictionReflection-Equivariant Diffusion for 3D Structure Determination from Isotopologue Rotational Spectra in Natural Abundance
Structure determination is necessary to identify unknown organic molecules, such as those in natural products, forensic samples, the interstellar medium, and laboratory syntheses. Rotational spectroscopy enables structur…
CrystalBoltz: End-to-End Protein Structure Determination via Experiment-Guided Diffusion for X-Ray Crystallography
Generative models trained on public databases of protein structures, most of which have been determined by X-ray crystallography, now provide powerful priors for structure prediction. However, they are not readily condit…
Bayesian InferenceExploration of Low-Cost but Accurate Radar-Based Human Motion Direction Determination
This work is completed on a whim after discussions with my junior colleague. The motion direction angle affects the micro-Doppler spectrum width, thus determining the human motion direction can provide important prior in…
Gait RecognitionSparse Bayesian structure learning with “dependent relevance determination” priors
In many problem settings, parameter vectors are not merely sparse, but dependent in such a way that non-zero coefficients tend to cluster together. We refer to this form of dependency as “region sparsity”. Classical spar…
