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.

In vitro and in silico antifungal efficacy of nitrogen-doped carbon nanohorn (NCNH) against Rhizoctonia solani.

TL;DR: In vitro antifungal efficiency of nitrogen-doped carbon nanohorn against Rhizoctonia solani showed that growth of fungi in the presence of NCNH was significantly inhibited at 150 μg mL−1 after 72 h, which is the first report of antIfungal efficacy ofNCNH against R. solani.

Molecular and structural insights into FaEXPA5, an alpha-expansin protein related with cell wall disassembly during ripening of strawberry fruit

TL;DR: The full length of this α-expansin (FaEXPA5), whose had been related with fruit softening, is reported and the protein structural was described by homology model, and MD simulations showed that FaEXPA 5 can interact with the ligands through residues present in the open groove along the two domains.

Molecular docking and molecular dynamics study on SmHDAC1 to identify potential lead compounds against Schistosomiasis

TL;DR: Light is thrown on the reliable model for further structure based drug designing, concerning SmHDAC1 of S. mansoni, and 24th inhibitor (N,8-dihydroxy-8-(naphthalen-2-yl) octanamide zinc id- ZINC13474421) showed better binding with SmHDac1 as compared to Hs HDAC1 in terms of binding energy and supported by IC50 value.

In Silico Insight into the Dominant Type II Toxin–Antitoxin Systems and Clp Proteases in Listeria monocytogenes and Designation of Derived Peptides as a Novel Approach to Interfere with this System

TL;DR: This study used several valid servers to predict the protein models of three TA complexes and their regulatory Clp proteases in L. monocytogenes as well as their associated interactions following docking result analysis to determine potential inhibitory peptides that would act as TA inhibitors paving the way for novel therapeutic developments to combat listeriosis infection.

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.
