The Protein Data Bank.

TLDR
The goals of the PDB are described, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information, and near-term plans for the future development of the resource are described.
Abstract
The Protein Data Bank [PDB; Berman, Westbrook et al. (2000), Nucleic Acids Res. 28, 235–242; http://www.pdb.org/] is the single worldwide archive of primary structural data of biological macromolecules. Many secondary sources of information are derived from PDB data. It is the starting point for studies in structural bioinformatics. This article describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in place for data deposition and access, how to obtain further information and plans for the future development of the resource. The reader should come away with an understanding of the scope of the PDB and what is provided by the resource.

LigPlot+: multiple ligand-protein interaction diagrams for drug discovery.

TL;DR: A graphical system for automatically generating multiple 2D diagrams of ligand-protein interactions from 3D coordinates that facilitates popular research tasks, such as analyzing a series of small molecules binding to the same protein target, a single ligand binding to homologous proteins, or the completely general case where both protein and ligand change.

Extending the treatment of backbone energetics in protein force fields: limitations of gas-phase quantum mechanics in reproducing protein conformational distributions in molecular dynamics simulations.

TL;DR: To improve the treatment of the peptide backbone, quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical calculations were undertaken on the alanine, glycine, and proline dipeptides, and the results were combined with molecular dynamics simulations of proteins in crystal and aqueous environments to enhance the quality of the CHARMM force field.
