TLDR
The solution structure of the C2 domain of MFG-E8 is determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and the molecular basis of binding between the C1 domain and PS is characterized by (31)P-NMR spectroscopic.

The glycoproteins EDIL3 and MFGE8 regulate vesicle-mediated eggshell calcification in a new model for avian biomineralization.

TL;DR: A model in which EDIL3 and, to a lesser extent, MFGE8 proteins guide vesicle containing amorphous calcium carbonate to the mineralization site was proposed, supported by the observation that extracellular vesicles accumulate in uterine fluid during eggshell calcification and that they contain high levels of calcium, carbon, and oxygen that correspond to calcium carbonates.

PROCHECK: a program to check the stereochemical quality of protein structures

TL;DR: The PROCHECK suite of programs as mentioned in this paper provides a detailed check on the stereochemistry of a protein structure and provides an assessment of the overall quality of the structure as compared with well refined structures of the same resolution.

Development and validation of a genetic algorithm for flexible docking.

TL;DR: GOLD (Genetic Optimisation for Ligand Docking) is an automated ligand docking program that uses a genetic algorithm to explore the full range of ligand conformational flexibility with partial flexibility of the protein, and satisfies the fundamental requirement that the ligand must displace loosely bound water on binding.

Exposure of phosphatidylserine on the surface of apoptotic lymphocytes triggers specific recognition and removal by macrophages.

TL;DR: The data suggest that macrophages specifically recognize phosphatidylserine that is exposed on the surface of lymphocytes during the development of apoptosis, and suggest that apoptotic lymphocytes lose membrane phospholipid asymmetry and expose phosphorus on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane.
