 History.
The current Sesame system is an outgrowth of a project designed by John Markley and Eldon
Ulrich in Biochemistry and Miron Livny and Yannis Ioannidis in Computer Sciences for the
development of a "desk-top experiment management system for biomolecular NMR".
The original project, which was supported by an NSF grant, made use of experimental
software tools under development in the Computer Sciences Department. However, we found
that these experimental tools were not robust enough to deliver reliable results in
a laboratory environment. Hence, Zsolt Zolnai spearheaded a de novo software effort,
the current Sesame system, based on commercial software packages. This project has been
funded continuously by NIH grant P41 RR02301 from the National Center for Research Resources,
which supports the National Magnetic Resonance Facility at Madison. A four-year supplement
to this grant, which expired at the end of February 2003, enabled
NMRFAM to accelerate the
development of the NMR portions of Sesame. This supplement also provided funds for
a professional review of the tools and their acceptance by users. This review, which was
conducted by the LEAD Center of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was useful in helping
the Sesame Project Team overcome barriers to wider acceptance of the software. Starting in
October 2001, additional funding for Sesame was obtained through NIH grant P50 GM64598 from
the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, which supports the Center for Eukaryotic
Structural Genomics (CESG). These funds made it possible to expand Sesame to handle additional
steps involved in structural proteomics, with structures determined by NMR spectroscopy
and X-ray crystallography. The Sesame Project Team is beginning to collaborate with other
groups interested in using this technology and in assisting to guide its future development.
