dc.description.abstractIn this thesis, we study the problem of protein side chain assignment (SCA) given multiple sources of experimental and modeling data. In particular, the mechanism of X-ray crystallography (X-ray) is re-examined using Fourier analysis, and a novel probabilistic model of X-ray is proposed for SCA's decision making. The relationship between the measurements in X-ray and the desired structure is reformulated in terms of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The decision making is performed by developing a new resolution-dependent electron density map (EDM) model and applying Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation, which simply reduces to the Least Squares (LS) solution. Calculation of the condence probability associated with this decision making is also given. One possible extension of this novel model is the real-space refinement when the continuous conformational space is used. Furthermore, we present a data fusion scheme combining multi-sources of data to solve SCA problem. The merit of our framework is the capability of exploiting multi-sources of information to make decisions in a probabilistic perspective based on Bayesian inference. Although our approach aims at SCA problem, it can be easily transplanted to solving for the entire protein structure.
