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.

SHIFTX2: significantly improved protein chemical shift prediction

TL;DR: A new computer program, called SHIFTX2, is described which is capable of rapidly and accurately calculating diamagnetic 1H, 13C and 15N chemical shifts from protein coordinate data and will open the door to many long-anticipated applications of chemical shift prediction to protein structure determination, refinement and validation.

The three-dimensional structure of an eukaryotic glutamine synthetase: functional implications of its oligomeric structure.

TL;DR: The structure of the prokaryotic glutamine synthetases type I and II, key enzymes in nitrogen metabolism, was determined several years ago by X-ray diffraction, and consists of a double hexameric ring, and the reconstructed tetramer suggests that it only contains two functional active sites.

Engineered Superoxide Dismutase Monomers for Superoxide Biosensor Applications

TL;DR: In an amperometric biosensorial approach, the SOD-mutant electrode was successfully applied for the detection of superoxide radicals and surpassed the sensitivity of the commonly used cytochrome c electrodes by approximately 1 order of magnitude while not being limited by interferences.

Protein Sequence Randomization: Efficient Estimation of Protein Stability Using Knowledge-based Potentials

TL;DR: Calculations on a variety of protein scaffolds result in a clear distinction of known mutable regions from arbitrarily chosen control patches, and knowledge-based potentials are used to estimate the stability of protein structures under sequence variation.
