Integrative structure modeling with the Integrative Modeling Platform.

TLDR
The Integrative Modeling Platform (IMP) as mentioned in this paper is an open source software suite for integrative structure modeling, which casts the building of structural models as a computational optimization problem, for which information about the assembly is encoded into a scoring function that evaluates candidate models.
Abstract
Building models of a biological system that are consistent with the myriad data available is one of the key challenges in biology. Modeling the structure and dynamics of macromolecular assemblies, for example, can give insights into how biological systems work, evolved, might be controlled, and even designed. Integrative structure modeling casts the building of structural models as a computational optimization problem, for which information about the assembly is encoded into a scoring function that evaluates candidate models. Here, we describe our open source software suite for integrative structure modeling, Integrative Modeling Platform (IMP) (https://integrativemodeling.org), and demonstrate its use.

Julia Koehler Leman, +117 more
- 01 Jul 2020 - 
TL;DR: This Perspective reviews tools developed over the past five years in the Rosetta software, including over 80 methods, and discusses improvements to the score function, user interfaces and usability.

Inferential Structure Determination

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Bayesian inference to derive a probability distribution that represents the unknown structure and its precision, and implemented this approach by using Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques.

Simulation Studies of Amyloidogenic Polypeptides and Their Aggregates.

TL;DR: At atomistic and coarse-grained simulation studies of amyloid peptides in their monomeric, oligomersic, and fibrillar states are reviewed and particular emphasis is given to the challenges one faces to characterize at atomic level of detail the conformational space of disordered (poly)peptides and their aggregation.

In-cell architecture of the nuclear pore and snapshots of its turnover.

TL;DR: In-cell structural studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveal that the configuration of the Nup159 complex is a key determinant of the mRNA export function of the nuclear pore complex, and suggest a model of NPC turnover in which NPC-containing vesicles bud off from the nuclear envelope before degradation by the autophagy machinery.

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.

The Protein Data Bank

TL;DR: The goals of the PDB are described, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information and plans for the future development of the resource are described.

Some methods for classification and analysis of multivariate observations

TL;DR: The k-means algorithm as mentioned in this paper partitions an N-dimensional population into k sets on the basis of a sample, which is a generalization of the ordinary sample mean, and it is shown to give partitions which are reasonably efficient in the sense of within-class variance.

Comparative Protein Modelling by Satisfaction of Spatial Restraints

TL;DR: A comparative protein modelling method designed to find the most probable structure for a sequence given its alignment with related structures, which is automated and illustrated by the modelling of trypsin from two other serine proteinases.
