Friday, November 11th at 3:00pm. Kevin Keating, postdoctoral fellow in the Pyle Lab at Yale University, will speak about the RCrane Coot plugin - lego-auto command for RNA. WebEx Webinar or Seminar SGM106

RNA crystallography frequently results in electron density maps that are imprecise and difficult to interpret. RCrane is a Coot plugin that aids in RNA model building into maps of low and intermediate resolution. This plugin helps the crystallographer in placing base and phosphate atoms, and the plugin then builds the remainder of the backbone automatically and accurately.
