The PHENIX software for macromolecular structure determination is described and its uses and benefits are described.
Abstract
Macromolecular X-ray crystallography is routinely applied to understand biological processes at a molecular level. How­ever, significant time and effort are still required to solve and complete many of these structures because of the need for manual interpretation of complex numerical data using many software packages and the repeated use of interactive three-dimensional graphics. PHENIX has been developed to provide a comprehensive system for macromolecular crystallo­graphic structure solution with an emphasis on the automation of all procedures. This has relied on the development of algorithms that minimize or eliminate subjective input, the development of algorithms that automate procedures that are traditionally performed by hand and, finally, the development of a framework that allows a tight integration between the algorithms.

Functional and dynamic polymerization of the ALS-linked protein TDP-43 antagonizes its pathologic aggregation.

TL;DR: It is reported that physiological nuclear TDP-43 in mouse and human brain forms homo-oligomers that are resistant to cellular stress and mediated through its N-terminal domain, which forms functional and dynamic oligomers antagonizing pathologic aggregation.

Elongation factor G bound to the ribosome in an intermediate state of translocation.

TL;DR: Comparison with the posttranslocational state suggests that interactions between the tRNA and L1 stalk are preserved throughout translocation and that these are probably an essential feature of translocation required for stabilization of the hybrid P/E state.

Axitinib effectively inhibits BCR-ABL1(T315I) with a distinct binding conformation

TL;DR: This study shows that wild-type proteins do not always sample the conformations available to disease-relevant mutant proteins and that comprehensive drug testing of patient-derived cells can identify unpredictable, clinically significant drug-repositioning opportunities.

SARS-CoV 3CL protease cleaves its C-terminal autoprocessing site by novel subsite cooperativity

TL;DR: Crystallography revealed that Phe at the P2 position changes the conformation of the substrate-binding pocket, and thereby creates the subsite for Pheat the P3′ position, which reveals a type of subsite cooperativity in 3CLpro.
