TLDR
The quality scores of a protein are displayed in the context of all known protein structures and problematic parts of a structure are shown and highlighted in a 3D molecule viewer in the ProSA-web service.Abstract:
A major problem in structural biology is the recognition of errors in experimental and theoretical models of protein structures. The ProSA program (Protein Structure Analysis) is an established tool which has a large user base and is frequently employed in the refinement and validation of experimental protein structures and in structure prediction and modeling. The analysis of protein structures is generally a difficult and cumbersome exercise. The new service presented here is a straightforward and easy to use extension of the classic ProSA program which exploits the advantages of interactive web-based applications for the display of scores and energy plots that highlight potential problems spotted in protein structures. In particular, the quality scores of a protein are displayed in the context of all known protein structures and problematic parts of a structure are shown and highlighted in a 3D molecule viewer. The service specifically addresses the needs encountered in the validation of protein structures obtained from X-ray analysis, NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.

Deciphering the ATP-binding mechanism(s) in NLRP-NACHT 3D models using structural bioinformatics approaches
TL;DR: The results indicate a similar mode of ATP-Mg2+ binding in all NLRPNACHT models and the interacting residues are found consistent with reported mutagenesis data and the proposed ATP-binding pocket will aid in designing novel inhibitors for the regulation of inflammasome activity.

TL;DR: The predicted 3D model of sea bass MIF has been used to verify the presence of structural requirements for its known biological activities, and it was revealed that MIF is constitutively expressed in all selected tissues and organs, with the highest mRNA level observed in thymus.

Recognition of errors in three‐dimensional structures of proteins
TL;DR: Techniques based on knowledge based mean fields which can be used to judge the quality of protein folds are presented, used to identify misfolded structures as well as faulty parts of structural models.

Structure of a bacterial multidrug ABC transporter
TL;DR: The observed, outward-facing conformation reflects the ATP-bound state, with the two nucleotide-binding domains in close contact and the two transmembrane domains forming a central cavity—presumably the drug translocation pathway—that is shielded from the inner leaflet of the lipid bilayer and from the cytoplasm, but exposed to the outer leaflet and the extracellular space.

TL;DR: A prototype of a new approach to the folding problem of polypeptide chains based on the analysis of known protein structures, which derives the energy potentials for the atomic interactions of all amino acid residue pairs as a function of the distance between the involved atoms is presented.
