Abstract
Structural biology is a basic medical science dedicated to understanding the function of the body in
terms of its three-dimensional organization. Since both normal and abnormal function are
fundamentally determined by structure a knowledge base of structural biology should lead to
causally-based problem-solving modules in basic science and clinical medicine. Such a knowledge
base, and the associated knowledge-based systems, will be large and will need to be developed and
coordinated through many research groups. We describe a distributed framework for allowing such
sharing to take place, in which individual modules running on widely scattered and diverse machines
are made available as knowledge and data servers communicated via remote procedure calls or similar
mechanisms. We also describe potential modules for structural biology and present results from our
current modules for computing three-dimensional anatomic reconstructions from serial sections.
