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.

TL;DR: A protein subunit was found to be a potential antigen, possessing several antigenic determinants, eliciting antibody, which can minimize laboratory errors in identification of A. baumannii and thus help clinicians to quick and precise diagnosis of the bacteria and initiatives to the treatment of the infection.

TL;DR: In this work, Phoneutria nigriventer toxins PnTx2-5 and Pnx2-6 were shown to markedly delay the fast inactivation kinetics of neuronal-type sodium channels, and data show that they have significant differences in their interaction with the channel.

The 3D structure and function of digestive cathepsin L-like proteinases of Tenebrio molitor larval midgut.
TL;DR: Structural differences in the S2 subsite explain their substrate specificities of cathepsin L-like proteinases in the beetle Tenebrio molitor and supported models for CAL trafficking to lysosomes and to secretory vesicles to be discharged into midgut contents.

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.
