IHMCIF is an extension of the Protein Data Bank Exchange/macromolecular Crystallographic Information Framework (PDBx/mmCIF) that serves as the framework for the Protein Data Bank (PDB) to archive experimentally determined atomic structures of biological macromolecules and their complexes with one another and small molecule ligands (e.g., enzyme cofactors and drugs). IHMCIF serves as the foundational data standard for the PDB-Dev prototype system, developed for archiving and disseminating integrative structures. It utilizes a flexible data representation to describe integrative structures that span multiple spatiotemporal scales and structural states with definitions for restraints from a variety of experimental methods contributing to integrative structural biology.

Furthermore, LSD was greatly enriched with comprehensive annotations for the SAGs through meticulous curation using both manual and computational methods. In addition, it was equipped with user-friendly web interfaces that facilitate text queries, BLAST searches, and convenient download of SAG sequences for localized analysis. Users can effortlessly navigate the database to access a plethora of information, including literature references, mutants, phenotypes, multi-omics data, miRNA interactions, homologs in other plants, and cross-links to various databases.

This is a free and open-source web application that opens, converts, fits, and calculates the thermodynamic parameters of protein unfolding from standard differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) data in an automated manner. The software has several applications. In the context of screening compound libraries for protein binders, obtaining thermodynamic parameters provides a more robust approach to detecting hits than the changes in the melting temperature (T<sub>m</sub>) alone, thereby helping to increase the number of positive hits in screening campaigns. Moreover, changes in ΔG<sub>u</sub><sup>o</sup> indicate protein response to binding at lower compound concentrations than those in the T<sub>m</sub>, thereby reducing the costs associated with the amounts of protein and compounds required for the assays. Also, by adding thermodynamic information to the T<sub>m</sub> comparison, the software can contribute to the optimization of protein constructs and buffer conditions, a common practice before structural and functional projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":"436 17","pages":"Article 168519"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022283624001062/pdfft?md5=cf58214544ee4ccc6fb33b70056879e3&pid=1-s2.0-S0022283624001062-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140099308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"DockThor-VS: A Free Platform for Receptor-Ligand Virtual Screening","authors":"","doi":"10.1016/j.jmb.2024.168548","DOIUrl":"10.1016/j.jmb.2024.168548","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>The DockThor-VS platform (<span><span>https://dockthor.lncc.br/v2/</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>) is a free protein–ligand docking server conceptualized to facilitate and assist drug discovery projects to perform docking-based virtual screening experiments accurately and using high-performance computing. The DockThor docking engine is a grid-based method designed for flexible-ligand and rigid-receptor docking. It employs a multiple-solution genetic algorithm and the MMFF94S molecular force field scoring function for pose prediction. This engine was engineered to handle highly flexible ligands, such as peptides. Affinity prediction and ranking of protein–ligand complexes are performed with the linear empirical scoring function DockTScore. The main steps of the ligand and protein preparation are available on the DockThor Portal, making it possible to change the protonation states of the amino acid residues, and include cofactors as rigid entities. The user can also customize and visualize the main parameters of the grid box. The results of docking experiments are automatically clustered and ordered, providing users with a diverse array of meaningful binding modes. The platform DockThor-VS offers a user-friendly interface and powerful algorithms, enabling researchers to conduct virtual screening experiments efficiently and accurately. The DockThor Portal utilizes the computational strength of the Brazilian high-performance platform SDumont, further amplifying the efficiency and speed of docking experiments. Additionally, the web server facilitates and enhances virtual screening experiments by offering curated structures of potential targets and compound datasets, such as proteins related to COVID-19 and FDA-approved drugs for repurposing studies. In summary, DockThor-VS is a dynamic and evolving solution for docking-based virtual screening to be applied in drug discovery projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Molecular Biology","volume":"436 17","pages":"Article 168548"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022283624001438/pdfft?md5=57349e8fba1907bce8b7894215619c89&pid=1-s2.0-S0022283624001438-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140282959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
