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. ProSA-web is accessible at https://prosa.services.came.sbg.ac.at.

A comparative study of rhodopsin function in the great bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus nuchalis): Spectral tuning and light‐activated kinetics

TL;DR: This study provides new insight into the joint impact of sites 83 and 292 on rhodopsin structure‐function as well as their evolutionary significance for dim‐light vision across vertebrates.

Comparative analyses of the β-tubulin gene and molecular modeling reveal molecular insight into the colchicine resistance in kinetoplastids organisms.

TL;DR: It is proposed that kinetoplastid organisms show resistance to colchicine due to amino acids substitutions that generate structural changes in the putative colchichine-binding domain, which prevent col chicine access.

Identification of Novel Amino Acid Derived CCK-2R Antagonists As Potential Antiulcer Agent: Homology Modeling, Design, Synthesis, and Pharmacology

TL;DR: The present study revisited the three-dimensional (3D) homology model of CCK-2R using human A(2a) adenosine receptor and the resolved NMR based structure of the third extracellular loop of the CCK -2R as templates to identify novel antiulcer agents.

TL;DR: An attempt to take advantage of in silico approach to design a safe, effective, and broad-spectrum polytopic vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis showed that each polytope is a better immunogenic candidate than its naked adjuvant.

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.

Calculation of conformational ensembles from potentials of mean force. An approach to the knowledge-based prediction of local structures in globular proteins.

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.
