The VSGB 2.0 model: A next generation energy model for high resolution protein structure modeling
TLDR
Given the precision and robustness of the calculations, it is believed that the VSGB 2.0 model is suitable to tackle “real” problems, such as biological function modeling and structure‐based drug discovery.Abstract:
A novel energy model (VSGB 2.0) for high resolution protein structure modeling is described, which features an optimized implicit solvent model as well as physics-based corrections for hydrogen bonding, π-π interactions, self-contact interactions and hydrophobic interactions. Parameters of the VSGB 2.0 model were fit to a crystallographic database of 2239 single side chain and 100 11–13 residue loop predictions. Combined with an advanced method of sampling and a robust algorithm for protonation state assignment, the VSGB 2.0 model was validated by predicting 115 super long loops up to 20 residues. Despite the dramatically increasing difficulty in reconstructing longer loops, a high accuracy was achieved: all of the lowest energy conformations have global backbone RMSDs better than 2.0 A from the native conformations. Average global backbone RMSDs of the predictions are 0.51, 0.63, 0.70, 0.62, 0.80, 1.41, and 1.59 A for 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 residue loop predictions, respectively. When these results are corrected for possible statistical bias as explained in the text, the average global backbone RMSDs are 0.61, 0.71, 0.86, 0.62, 1.06, 1.67, and 1.59 A. Given the precision and robustness of the calculations, we believe that the VSGB 2.0 model is suitable to tackle “real” problems, such as biological function modeling and structure-based drug discovery.read more

CYP17A1 exhibits 17αhydroxylase/17,20-lyase activity towards 11β-hydroxyprogesterone and 11-ketoprogesterone metabolites in the C11-oxy backdoor pathway
TL;DR: In vitro assays showed that while CYP17A1 readily hydroxylated 11OHP4 and 11KP4, the enzyme was unable to catalyse the 17,20-lyase reaction of these C11-oxy C21 steroid products.

Protein Loop Modeling with Optimized Backbone Potential Functions
TL;DR: The backbone potential was used for the prediction of loop conformations (OSCAR-loop) combining with the previously described OSCAR force field, which has been shown to be very accurate in side chain modeling and was better than that of other loop modeling algorithms for short loops (<10 residues).
