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.

A computational analysis of the binding mode of closantel as inhibitor of the Onchocerca volvulus chitinase: insights on macrofilaricidal drug design

TL;DR: The homology model of OvCHT1 and the closantel binding mode reported herein might help guide the rational development of novel drugs against the adult parasite of O. volvulus and such findings could be extrapolated to other filarial neglected diseases.

Molecular modelling and simulation studies of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis multidrug efflux pump protein Rv1258c.
TL;DR: An accurate 3D model of Rv1258c is generated using MODELLER and its structure is validated using molecular dynamic simulation studies with GROMACS software and Spectinamide was found to bind to a different location on the outside surface of the protein suggesting its ability to avoid the efflux channel.

Control of Ethanol Sensitivity of the Glycine Receptor α3 Subunit by Transmembrane 2, the Intracellular Splice Cassette and C-Terminal Domain
Andrea Sanchez,Gonzalo E. Yévenes,Loreto San Martin,Carlos F. Burgos,Gustavo Moraga-Cid,Robert J. Harvey,Luis G. Aguayo +6 more
TL;DR: Electrophysiologic experiments demonstrate that GlyR α3 subunits are not modulated by ethanol, and residue A254 in TM2, the α3L splice cassette, and the C-terminal domain of α3 GlyRs are determinants for low ethanol sensitivity and form the molecular basis of subtype-selective modulation of GlyRs by alcohol.

TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental structural studies performed in order to obtain insights into the structural features of αBaltMIP indicated that this molecule may potentially trimerize in solution, thus strengthening the hypothesis previously raised by other authors about snake PLIs oligomerization.

TL;DR: Five consanguineous families segregating OI in an autosomal recessive pattern are presented, providing additional evidence of involvement of homozygous sequence variants in the SP7, SERPINF1, SPARC and WNT1 genes causing severe OI.

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.
