Recent Advances in Zinc Enzymology

TL;DR: Zinc enzymology is, compared to some other current areas of metallobiochemistry, a maturing field, but in addition to further developments of structure-function relationships it has also provided a number of surprising new results and ideas in the last few years.

RUBISCO: Structure, Regulatory Interactions, and Possibilities for a Better Enzyme

TL;DR: The interactions and associations relatively far from the Rubisco active site, including regulatory interactions with Rubisco activase, may present new approaches and strategies for understanding and ultimately improving this complex enzyme.

X-ray Structure of the FimC-FimH Chaperone-Adhesin Complex from Uropathogenic Escherichia coli

TL;DR: The x-ray structure of the FimC-FimH chaperone-adhesin complex from uropathogenic Escherichia coli at 2.5 angstrom resolution reveals the basis for carbohydrate recognition and for pilus assembly.

Structure and function of Rubisco

TL;DR: This review discusses Rubisco function in the context of structural variations at all levels--amino acid sequence, fold, tertiary and quaternary structure--with an evolutionary perspective and an emphasis on the structural features of the enzyme that may determine its function as a carboxylase.

In Posidonia oceanica cadmium induces changes in DNA methylation and chromatin patterning

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that Cd perturbs the DNA methylation status through the involvement of a specific methyltransferase, linked to nuclear chromatin reconfiguration likely to establish a new balance of expressed/repressed chromatin.

Dictionary of protein secondary structure: pattern recognition of hydrogen-bonded and geometrical features

TL;DR: A set of simple and physically motivated criteria for secondary structure, programmed as a pattern‐recognition process of hydrogen‐bonded and geometrical features extracted from x‐ray coordinates is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solvent content of protein crystals.

TL;DR: An analysis of the solvent content of 116 different crystal forms of globular proteins found that in many cases this range will be sufficiently restrictive to enable the probable number of molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit to be determined directly from the molecular weight of the protein and the space group and unit cell dimensions of the crystal.

A semi-empirical method of absorption correction

TL;DR: An extension of Furnas's method is described in this paper, where the variation of intensity of an axial reflection as the crystal is rotated about the goniometer axis is used to give a curve of relative transmission T against azimuthal angle ϕ for the corresponding reciprocal lattice level.

The interpretation of protein structures: estimation of static accessibility.

TL;DR: The accessibility of atoms in the twenty common amino acids in model tripeptides of the type Ala-X-Ala are given for defined conformation and the larger non-polar amino acids tend to be more “buried” in the native form of all three proteins.

Crystallographic R Factor Refinement by Molecular Dynamics

TL;DR: Test cases showed that the need for manual corrections during refinement of macromolecular crystal structures is reduced and the dynamics calculation moved residues that were misplaced by more than 3 angstroms into the correct positions without human intervention.
