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.

The Thermococcus kodakaraensis Tko CDC21-1 intein activates its N-terminal splice junction in the absence of a conserved histidine by a compensatory mechanism.
TL;DR: It is proposed that Lys(58) catalyzes the initial N-S acyl migration by stabilizing the thiazolidine-tetrahedral intermediate, allowing it to be resolved by water-mediated hydrolysis rather than by protonating the leaving group as His is theorized to do in many other inteins.

TL;DR: Inhibition of LdAPx in resistant parasites enhanced annexin V staining and activation of metacaspase-like protease activity, which may help in DNA fragmentation and apoptosis-like cell death and therefore may facilitate the development of new drugs for combination therapy against VL.

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.
