Structural Insights into the Mechanisms and Pharmacology of K2P Potassium Channels.

TL;DR: The K2P (KCNK) channel class comprises an ion channel family that produces potassium leak currents that oppose excitation and stabilize the resting membrane potential in cells in the brain, cardiovascular system, immune system, and sensory organs.

Structure-Based Prediction of hERG-Related Cardiotoxicity: A Benchmark Study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the first structure-based classifiers able to distinguish hERG binders from non-binders by integrating docking scores and protein-ligand interaction fingerprints through a SVM LASSO regularized strategy.

Membranes under the Magnetic Lens: A Dive into the Diverse World of Membrane Protein Structures Using Cryo-EM

TL;DR: Insight is provided into how the recent advances in membrane biology and biochemistry, as well as technical advances in cryo-electron microscopy, help to solve structures of a large variety of membrane protein groups, from small receptors to large transporters and more complex machineries.

hERG Blockade Prediction by Combining Site Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation and Physicochemical Properties.

TL;DR: Uniting the structure-based SILCS (site-identification by ligand competitive saturation) approach in conjunction with physicochemical properties to develop predictive models for hERG blockade leads to improved model predictability based on Pearson’s R and percent correct metric for different validation sets of hERG blockers involving a diverse chemical scaffold and wide range of pIC50 values.

UCSF Chimera--a visualization system for exploratory research and analysis.

TL;DR: Two unusual extensions are presented: Multiscale, which adds the ability to visualize large‐scale molecular assemblies such as viral coats, and Collaboratory, which allows researchers to share a Chimera session interactively despite being at separate locales.

Structure validation by Calpha geometry: phi,psi and Cbeta deviation.

TL;DR: Geometrical validation around the Cα is described, with a new Cβ measure and updated Ramachandran plot, and Favored and allowed ϕ,ψ regions are also defined for Pro, pre‐Pro, and Gly (important because Gly ϕ‐ψ angles are more permissive but less accurately determined).
