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.

Computational Reverse-Engineering of a Spider-Venom Derived Peptide Active Against Plasmodium falciparum SUB1
Giacomo Bastianelli,Anthony Bouillon,Christophe Nguyen,Elodie Crublet,Stéphane Petres,Olivier Gorgette,Dung Le-Nguyen,Jean-Christophe Barale,Michael Nilges +8 more
TL;DR: The computational reverse engineering supported the hypothesis that PcFK1 targeted PfSUB1, and this was confirmed by experimental evidence showing that P cFK1 inhibits PfSub1 enzymatic activity, outlining the usefulness of advanced bioinformatics tools to predict the function of a protein structure.

TL;DR: DNA binding studies revealed that AamAP1-Lysine caused complete retardation of DNA migration and could display intracellular activities in addition to the membrane permeabilization mode of action reported earlier, which could prove to be a potential candidate for antimicrobial drug development in future studies.

Development of Potent and Selective Antagonists for the UTP-Activated P2Y4 Receptor
Muhammad Rafehi,Enas M. Malik,Alexander Neumann,Aliaa Abdelrahman,Theodor Hanck,Vigneshwaran Namasivayam,Christa E. Müller,Younis Baqi +7 more
TL;DR: The most potent compound of the present series, sodium 1-amino-4-[4-(2,4-dimethylphenylthio)phenylamino]-9,10-dioxo-9, 10-dihydroanthracene-2-sulfonate, represents the most selective P2Y4 receptor antagonist known to date and is anticipated to become useful tools for studying this scarcely investigated receptor.

Comparative Mutagenesis Studies of Retinal Release in Light-Activated Zebrafish Rhodopsin Using Fluorescence Spectroscopy
TL;DR: The rate of retinal release from light-activated rhodopsin in an ectotherm, zebrafish (Danio rerio), is characterized, demonstrating in a fluorescence assay that this process occurs more than twice as fast as bovine rhodopin at similar temperatures in 0.1% dodecyl maltoside.

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.
