Abstract
This article describes the implementation of real-space refinement in the phenixreal_space_refine program from the PHENIX suite The use of a simplified refinement target function enables very fast calculation, which in turn makes it possible to identify optimal data-restraint weights as part of routine refinements with little runtime cost Refinement of atomic models against low-resolution data benefits from the inclusion of as much additional information as is available In addition to standard restraints on covalent geometry, phenixreal_space_refine makes use of extra information such as secondary-structure and rotamer-specific restraints, as well as restraints or constraints on internal molecular symmetry The re-refinement of 385 cryo-EM-derived models available in the Protein Data Bank at resolutions of 6 A or better shows significant improvement of the models and of the fit of these models to the target maps

The inner junction complex of the cilia is an interaction hub that involves tubulin post-translational modifications.

TL;DR: The structural study of the doublets of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Tetrahymena thermophila shows that the inner junction serves as an interaction hub that involves tubulin post-translational modifications that contribute to the stability of thedoublet and hence, normal ciliary motility.

Structures and distributions of SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins on intact virions.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy and tomography is applied to image intact SARS-CoV-2 virions, determining the high-resolution structure, conformational flexibility and distribution of S trimers in situ on the virion surface and providing a basis from which to understand interactions between S and neutralizing antibodies during infection or vaccination.

Structure of replicating SARS-CoV-2 polymerase.

TL;DR: A cryo-electron microscopy structure of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-CoV-2 sheds light on coronavirus replication and enables the analysis of the inhibitory mechanisms of candidate antiviral drugs.

Structural Basis for Potent Neutralization of Betacoronaviruses by Single-Domain Camelid Antibodies.

TL;DR: The isolation of single-domain antibodies (VHHs) from a llama immunized with prefusion-stabilized coronavirus spikes provide a molecular basis for the neutralization of pathogenic betacoronaviruses by VHHs and suggest that these molecules may serve as useful therapeutics during coronav virus outbreaks.

Improved methods for building protein models in electron density maps and the location of errors in these models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe strategies and tools that help to alleviate this problem and simplify the model-building process, quantify the goodness of fit of the model on a per-residue basis and locate possible errors in peptide and side-chain conformations.
