Claims15
A method for determining the size of an amphiphilic molecule, comprising:
- obtaining an ordered structure of amphiphilic molecules;
- calculating the fractal dimensions of said ordered structure;
- analyzing the fractal dimensions, such that the size of said amphiphilic molecule is determined.
A method for generating a three dimensional template of an amphiphilic molecule, comprising:
- obtaining at least two ordered structures of said amphiphilic molecule;
- obtaining the 2D contour map of said amphiphilic molecule from said ordered structures;
- analyzing said 2D contour maps, such that a three dimensional template of said amphiphilic molecule is generated.
A method for obtaining a three dimensional structure of a protein, comprising:
- obtaining at least two ordered structures of said protein;
- determining the 2D contour maps of said protein from said ordered structures;
- analyzing said 2D contour maps to obtain a three dimensional template;
- fitting the amino acid sequence of said protein into said three dimensional template, thereby obtaining a three dimensional structure of said protein.
