Determining the conformation of these loops in RNA is important for understanding how these nucleotides interact with other elements of secondary structure to form tertiary interactions and for understanding how proteins bind to bulge loops. In general, this could occur between any of the secondary structure regions containing unpaired nucleotides (single-stranded regions, hairpin loops, bulge loops, internal loops, and junction loops). There are several examples of RNA molecules containing tertiary contacts between nucleotides that are in loop regions of secondary structure. The high frequency with which known RNA structures contain tertiary pairing between nucleotides that are unpaired in the secondary structure stresses the importance of learning more about such interactions. cache = ./cache/cord-008588-4eu9v5d3.txt txt = ./txt/cord-008588-4eu9v5d3.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-322885-ob5euspo author = Durdagi, Serdar title = Near-Physiological-Temperature Serial Femtosecond X-ray Crystallography Reveals Novel Conformations of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Active Site for Improved Drug Repurposing date = 2020-09-09 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 10818 sentences = 656 flesch = 54 summary = One Sentence Summary Radiation-damage-free high-resolution SARS-CoV-2 main protease SFX structures obtained at near-physiological-temperature offer invaluable information for immediate drug-repurposing studies for the treatment of COVID19.

In the present review we will look at the design part of the protein engineering process, with emphasis on some of the more difficult steps, especially homology based modelling in cases with very low sequence similarity, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of very large proteins and modelling of electrostatic interactions.

In Fig. 1 (a) we see that for the crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein N-terminal RNA binding domain (PDB:6m3m), the largest rigid cluster in the pristine structure, i.e. at E cut = 0, largely remains rigid through the dilution process of consecutively lowering E cut values. Last, a protein with 2nd-order rigidity should have the most complex behaviour in terms of flexibility since new possible mobility can be expected throughout the range of E cut values. Moving along directions proposed by an elastic normal model analysis of the crystal structure, we can therefore construct possible motion trajectories that are fully consistent with the bond network and steric constraints. cache = ./cache/cord-292985-w62xaa4f.txt txt = ./txt/cord-292985-w62xaa4f.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-264489-h1n9ywbd author = Roy, Urmi title = Insight into the Structures of Interleukin-18 Systems date = 2020-07-31 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 4347 sentences = 273 flesch = 52 summary = The present study, including structural and molecular dynamics simulations, takes a close look at the structural stabilities of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor-bound ligand structures as functions of time.

It is possible that the sequence of naturally-occurring RNAs, some of which need to be efficiently translocated through biological pores, have evolved to harness folding kinetics and thermodynamics so as to minimize the incidence of various forms of selfentanglement, including knots, in their native structures. cache = ./cache/cord-002015-s3tdllby.txt txt = ./txt/cord-002015-s3tdllby.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-325328-3l3jznkj author = Holbrook, Stephen R title = RNA structure: the long and the short of it date = 2005-05-16 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 3711 sentences = 165 flesch = 44 summary = Structural studies and comparative sequence analyses have suggested that biological RNAs are largely modular in nature, composed primarily of conserved structural building blocks or motifs [4] of secondary (helices, and internal, external and junction loops) and tertiary (coaxial stacks, kissing hairpin loops, ribose zippers, etc.) structure.

Additionally, modelling interactions between mRNA and RNAP as well as mRNA and the ribosome are needed because both influence the kinetic folding process and RNA termination structures break up gene transcription. If observed structures are present during folding simulation, the macro level model can signalise this information and thus trigger dynamics to other components by adding new ports to itself (representing docking sites) or send messages over existing ports. Simulating the RNA folding with Kinfold [12] results in a five times higher amount of the 2-helix conformation than the single hairpin, but their total sum is about 60% of all molecules and thus less misfolded structures can be observed. The pattern observation function of the RNA folding model, which is realised at macro level, allows us to look for an intrinsic transcription termination structure [2] during simulation. cache = ./cache/cord-017181-ywz6w2po.txt txt = ./txt/cord-017181-ywz6w2po.txt === reduce.pl bib === === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-031957-df4luh5v author = dos Santos-Silva, Carlos André title = Plant Antimicrobial Peptides: State of the Art, In Silico Prediction and Perspectives in the Omics Era date = 2020-09-02 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 16609 sentences = 954 flesch = 43 summary = 19 Plant AMPs are the central focus of the present review, comprising information on their structural features (at genomic, gene, and protein levels), resources, and bioinformatic tools available, besides the proposition of an annotation routine. 26 Plant AMPs are also classified into families considering protein sequence similarity, cysteine motifs, and distinctive patterns of disulfide bonds, which determine the folding of the tertiary structure. 27, 31 These AMP categories will be detailed in the next sections, together with other groups here considered (Impatienlike, Macadamia [β-barrelins], Puroindoline (PIN), and Thaumatin-like protein [TLP]) and the recently described αhairpinin AMPs.

On the other hand, an increasing number of experimental findings, as well as results from comparative sequence analysis, suggest that pseudo-knots are important structural elements in many RNA molecules (Westhof and Jaeger, 1992) . cache = ./cache/cord-354465-5nqrrnqr.txt txt = ./txt/cord-354465-5nqrrnqr.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-351222-9bfchw4u author = Rollinger, Judith M. title = Virtual screening for the discovery of bioactive natural products date = 2008 pages = extension = .txt mime = text/plain words = 10016 sentences = 451 flesch = 37 summary = Some examples using high throughput docking as a structure-based virtual screening tool will be given here: Liu and Zhou applied a theoretical approach to find natural ligands as potential inhibitors of the SARS-CoV protease, a virus target of the severe acute respiratory syndrome [35] . Barreca and co-authors developed a 3D structure-based pharmacophore model with LIGANDSCOUT for the discovery of new scaffolds acting as HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors by virtual screening of large chemical databases. Based on the co-crystal structure of AChE with its ligand galanthamine, a structure-based pharmacophore model was generated and used for an in silico screening of a multi-conformational database consisting of more than 110,000 NPs.

The cases when the amino acid sequence of a fragment coincided with part of the primary structure of a natural oligopeptide were recorded in the Total protein chemical synthesis requires a case by case design and optimization which is governed by factors such as the solubility of the individual peptide segments, their primary sequence and in particular the presence of "difficult" amino acid residues at ligation junctions such as proline or the location of cysteines. In this study we present synthesis of two series of peptide libraries, which were designed by substitution of Leu in the P5, P6 position of our control peptide (Ac-LLLLRVKR-AMBA) with each of nineteen amino acid residues in order to verifying its influence on activity and selectivity of the resulting analogues. cache = ./cache/cord-023225-5quigar4.txt txt = ./txt/cord-023225-5quigar4.txt === reduce.pl bib === id = cord-310847-63gh2tg4 author = Uversky, Vladimir N title = The alphabet of intrinsic disorder: II.

areas, and the largest are: (1) genome and protein sequence analysis, (2) macromolecular structure-function analysis, (3) gene expression analysis, and (4) proteomics. With the completion of the human genome and the abundance of sequence, structural, and gene expression data, a new field of systems biology that tries to understand how proteins and genes interact at a cellular level is emerging. The Entrez system from the National Center for Biological Information (NCBI) gives integrated access to the biomedical literature, protein, and nucleic acid sequences, macromolecular and small molecular structures, and genome project links (including both the Human Genome Project and sequencing projects that are attempting to determine the genome sequences for organisms that are either human pathogens or important experimental model organisms) in a manner that takes advantages of either explicit or computed links between these data resources. abstract: Why is sequence, structure, and biological pathway information relevant to medicine? Where on the Internet should you look for a DNA sequence, a protein sequence, or a protein structure? What are two problems encountered in analyzing biological sequence, structure, and function?

In the present review we will look at the design part of the protein engineering process, with emphasis on some of the more difficult steps, especially homology based modelling in cases with very low sequence similarity, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of very large proteins and modelling of electrostatic interactions. They modify properties of individual residues and of the protein, and may thus make surface prediction, dynamics simulations and structural modelling in general more complex. abstract: In the present review some scientific areas of key importance for protein engineering are discussed, such as problems involved in deducting protein sequence from DNA sequence (due to posttranscriptional editing, splicing and posttranslational modifications), modelling of protein structures by homology, NMR of large proteins (including probing the molecular surface with relaxation agents), simulation of protein structures by molecular dynamics and simulation of electrostatic effects in proteins (including pH-dependent effects). It is argued that all of these areas could be of key importance in most protein engineering projects, because they give access to increased and often unique information. In the last part of the review some potential areas for future applications of protein engineering approaches are discussed, such as non-conventional media, de novo design and nanotechnology. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7173218/ doi: 10.1016/0168-1656(94)90152-x id: cord-015642-p46abodr author: Backofen, Rolf title: Distribution of Graph-Distances in Boltzmann Ensembles of RNA Secondary Structures date: 2013 words: 4201.0 sentences: 278.0 pages: flesch: 66.0 cache: ./cache/cord-015642-p46abodr.txt txt: ./txt/cord-015642-p46abodr.txt summary: On a more technical level, the problem to compute the partition function over RNA secondary structures with given end-to-end distance d, usually measured as the number of external bases (plus possibly the number of structural domains) arises for instance when predicting nucleic acid secondary structure in the presence of single-stranded binding proteins [9] or in models of RNA subjected to pulling forces (e.g. in atom force microscopy or export through a small pore) [10, 23, 11] . can be split as follows, This gives the recursion [10] , the investigate of loop entropy dependence [7] , the analysis of FRET signals in the presence of single-stranded binding proteins [9] , as well as in mathematical studies of RNA panhandle-like structures [2, 13] . As the graph-distance for a pair of nucleotides in a given secondary structure can be computed in O(n log n) time, even large samples can be evaluated efficiently 2 . The equilibrium partition function and base pair binding probabilities for RNA secondary structure abstract: Large RNA molecules often carry multiple functional domains whose spatial arrangement is an important determinant of their function. Pre-mRNA splicing, furthermore, relies on the spatial proximity of the splice junctions that can be separated by very long introns. Similar effects appear in the processing of RNA virus genomes. Albeit a crude measure, the distribution of spatial distances in thermodynamic equilibrium therefore provides useful information on the overall shape of the molecule can provide insights into the interplay of its functional domains. Spatial distance can be approximated by the graph-distance in RNA secondary structure. We show here that the equilibrium distribution of graph-distances between arbitrary nucleotides can be computed in polynomial time by means of dynamic programming. A naive implementation would yield recursions with a very high time complexity of O(n (11)). Although we were able to reduce this to O(n (6)) for many practical applications a further reduction seems difficult. We conclude, therefore, that sampling approaches, which are much easier to implement, are also theoretically favorable for most real-life applications, in particular since these primarily concern long-range interactions in very large RNA molecules. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7114971/ doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-40453-5_10 id: cord-330427-3eoio8uk author: Bassetto, Marcella title: Structural biology in antiviral drug discovery date: 2016-09-06 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: Structural biology has emerged during the last thirty years as a powerful tool for rational drug discovery.

In this context, three-dimensional protein structures have played essential roles for the understanding of the activity and for the design of novel antiviral agents against several different viruses.

Due to the alarming increase of resistance to antimicrobial therapeutics, a growing interest in alternative antimicrobial agents has led to the exploitation of AMPs, both synthetic and isolated from natural sources. Thus, many peptide‐based drugs have been the focus of increasing attention by many researchers not only in identifying novel AMPs, but in defining mechanisms of antimicrobial peptide activity as well. Herein, we review the available strategies for the identification of AMPs in human body fluids and their mechanism(s) of action. In addition, an overview of the distribution of AMPs across different human body fluids is provided, as well as its relation with microorganisms and infectious conditions. url: https://doi.org/10.1002/med.21435 doi: 10.1002/med.21435 id: cord-002490-kw8psrmz author: Beniac, Daniel R. title: Structure of the Ebola virus glycoprotein spike within the virion envelope at 11 Å resolution date: 2017-04-11 words: 4053.0 sentences: 184.0 pages: flesch: 53.0 cache: ./cache/cord-002490-kw8psrmz.txt txt: ./txt/cord-002490-kw8psrmz.txt summary: We present the structure of the surface Ebola virus (EBOV) trimeric glycoprotein (GP) spike at 11 Å resolution, in situ within the viral plasma membrane of purified virus particles. In addition, 29,976 images were selected for reference-free analysis of the half-diameter of EBOV to investigate the spatial distribution of the GP spikes, as well as the periodicity and symmetrical relationships between GP and the matrix protein VP40 in the envelope, and the underlying nucleocapsid layer (Figs 1c and S3) . The spike structure of Beniac et al imaged within the virus-like particles was somehow clipped, since this should have included the mucin-like domains: in addition, tomography was combined with single-particle analysis, which may have distorted the results 4 . The structure that we report here is based entirely on the well-accepted method of single-particle analysis using projection matching, and is broadly similar to that published of expressed GP in virus-like particles using tomography 28, 29 : there are noticeable differences in shape and size of the spike, as well as in resolution (Fig. 4) . abstract: We present the structure of the surface Ebola virus (EBOV) trimeric glycoprotein (GP) spike at 11 Å resolution, in situ within the viral plasma membrane of purified virus particles. GP functions in cellular attachment, endosomal entry, and membrane fusion to initiate infection, and is a key therapeutic target. Nevertheless, only about half of the GP molecule has yet been solved to atomic resolution, excluding the mucin-like and transmembrane domains, and some of the glycans. Fitting of the atomic resolution X-ray data from expressed, truncated deletion constructs within our 11 Å structure of the entire molecule demonstrates the relationship between the GP1-GP2 domains, the mucin-like and transmembrane domains, and the bilaminar lipid envelope. We show that the mucin-like domain covers the glycan cap and partially occludes the receptor binding sites prior to proteolytic cleavage. Our structure is also consistent with key antibody neutralisation sites on GP being accessible prior to proteolysis. Based on the findings of us and others, GP-mediated binding may create an angle of 18 degrees between the planes of viral and endosomal membranes. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5387728/ doi: 10.1038/srep46374 id: cord-278135-kvuti410 author: Benjin, Xu title: Developments, applications, and prospects of cryo‐electron microscopy date: 2019-12-26 words: 6408.0 sentences: 326.0 pages: flesch: 49.0 cache: ./cache/cord-278135-kvuti410.txt txt: ./txt/cord-278135-kvuti410.txt summary: Blue corresponds to structures determined by X-ray crystallography, dark orange corresponds to structures determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, and gray corresponds to structures determined by electron microscopy and NMR, cryo-EM has the following advantages: (a) it does not need crystals; (b) it is suitable for proteins and their complexes of large molecular weight; (c) it reduces radiation damage and maintains the native activity and functional state of samples, including posttranslational modifications; (d) multiple different conformational states can be captured in one experiment; (e) it is suitable for the structural analysis of membrane proteins such as GPCR and their complexes; (f) when encountering some structures that cannot be resolved by conventional X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM is still the mainstream. abstract: Cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) is a structural biological method that is used to determine the 3D structures of biomacromolecules.

Based on a nanomechanical analysis of the structure and motions of atoms and molecules at multiple scales, we report sonified versions of the coronavirus spike protein of the pathogen of COVID-19, 2019-nCoV. The audio signal, created using a novel nanomechanical sonification method, features an overlay of the vibrational signatures of the protein's primary, secondary and higher-order structures. Presenting musical encoding in two versions - one in the amino-acid scale and one based on equal temperament tuning - the method allows for expressing protein structures in audible space, offering novel avenues to represent, analyze and design architectural features across length- and time-scales. We further report a hierarchical frequency spectrum analysis of five distinct protein structures, which offer insights into how genetic mutations, and the binding of the virus spike protein to the human ACE2 cell receptor directly influence the audio. Applications of the approach may include the development of de novo antibodies by designing protein sequences that match, through melodic counterpoints, the binding sites in the spike protein. Other applications of audible coding of matter include material design by manipulating sound, detecting mutations, and offering a way to reach out to broader communities to explain the physics of proteins. It also forms a physics-based compositional technique to create new art, referred to as materiomusic, which is akin to finding a new palette of colors for a painter.

It is accordingly plausible, as remarked by Levinthal in more general contexts, 7,8 that protein sequences have evolved to encode not only the thermodynamically-stable native fold, but also the sequence of steps leading to the native structure formation so to minimize the incidence of misfolded states, including knotted ones which would be very challenging to backtrack. It is possible that the sequence of naturally-occurring RNAs, some of which need to be efficiently translocated through biological pores, have evolved to harness folding kinetics and thermodynamics so as to minimize the incidence of various forms of selfentanglement, including knots, in their native structures. abstract: Physical entanglement, and particularly knots arise spontaneously in equilibrated polymers that are sufficiently long and densely packed. Biopolymers are no exceptions: knots have long been known to occur in proteins as well as in encapsidated viral DNA. The rapidly growing number of RNA structures has recently made it possible to investigate the incidence of physical knots in this type of biomolecule, too. Strikingly, no knots have been found to date in the known RNA structures. In this Point of View Article we discuss the absence of knots in currently available RNAs and consider the reasons why knots in RNA have not yet been found, despite the expectation that they should exist in Nature. We conclude by singling out a number of RNA sequences that, based on the properties of their predicted secondary structures, are good candidates for knotted RNAs. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4829277/ doi: 10.1080/15476286.2015.1132069 id: cord-008588-4eu9v5d3 author: Chastain, Michael title: Structural Elements in RNA date: 2008-02-29 words: 13667.0 sentences: 617.0 pages: flesch: 54.0 cache: ./cache/cord-008588-4eu9v5d3.txt txt: ./txt/cord-008588-4eu9v5d3.txt summary: The structures of the tRNA anticodon loop and the UUCG loop suggest that the specific loop sequences adopt conformations that are more stable because they contain more hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions-particularly interactions with the sugar-phosphate backbone. Determining the conformation of these loops in RNA is important for understanding how these nucleotides interact with other elements of secondary structure to form tertiary interactions and for understanding how proteins bind to bulge loops. In general, this could occur between any of the secondary structure regions containing unpaired nucleotides (single-stranded regions, hairpin loops, bulge loops, internal loops, and junction loops). There are several examples of RNA molecules containing tertiary contacts between nucleotides that are in loop regions of secondary structure. The high frequency with which known RNA structures contain tertiary pairing between nucleotides that are unpaired in the secondary structure stresses the importance of learning more about such interactions. abstract: This chapter describes the RNA structural characteristics that have emerged so far. Folded RNA molecules are stabilized by a variety of interactions, the most prevalent of which are stacking and hydrogen bonding between bases. Many interactions among backbone atoms also occur in the structure of tRNA, although they are often ignored when considering RNA structure because they are not as well-characterized as interactions among bases. Backbone interactions include hydrogen bonding and the stacking of sugar or phosphate groups with bases or with other sugar and phosphate groups. The interactions found in a three-dimensional RNA structure can be divided into two categories: secondary interactions and tertiary interactions. This division is useful for several reasons. Secondary structures are routinely determined by a combination of techniques discussed in chapter, whereas tertiary interactions are more difficult to determine. Computer algorithms that generate RNA structures can search completely through possible secondary structures, but the inclusion of tertiary interactions makes a complete search of possible structures impractical for RNA molecules even as small as tRNA. The division of RNA structure into building blocks consisting of secondary or tertiary interactions makes it easier to describe RNA structures. In those cases in which RNA studies are incomplete, the studies of DNA are described with the rationalization that RNA structures may be analogous to DNA structures, or that the techniques used to study DNA could be applied to the analogous RNA structures. The chapter focuses on the aspects of RNA structure that affect the three-dimensional shape of RNA and that affect its ability to interact with other molecules. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7133162/ doi: 10.1016/s0079-6603(08)60008-2 id: cord-314321-klb8oe9q author: Chen, Serena H. title: Distinct Structural Flexibility within SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Reveals Potential Therapeutic Targets date: 2020-04-18 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: The emergence and rapid worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, has prompted concerted efforts to find successful treatments. The causative virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), uses its spike (S) protein to gain entry into host cells. Therefore, the S protein presents a viable target to develop a directed therapy. Here, we deployed an integrated artificial intelligence with molecular dynamics simulation approach to provide new details of the S protein structure. Based on a comprehensive structural analysis of S proteins from SARS-CoV-2 and previous human coronaviruses, we found that the protomer state of S proteins is structurally flexible. Without the presence of a stabilizing beta sheet from another protomer chain, two regions in the S2 domain and the hinge connecting the S1 and S2 subunits lose their secondary structures. Interestingly, the region in the S2 domain was previously identified as an immunodominant site in the SARS-CoV-1 S protein. We anticipate that the molecular details elucidated here will assist in effective therapeutic development for COVID-19. url: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.17.047548 doi: 10.1101/2020.04.17.047548 id: cord-329504-91te3nu8 author: Croll, Tristan title: Making the invisible enemy visible date: 2020-10-07 words: 4826.0 sentences: 219.0 pages: flesch: 52.0 cache: ./cache/cord-329504-91te3nu8.txt txt: ./txt/cord-329504-91te3nu8.txt summary: A general indication of how well the atomic model fits the measurement data can be obtained by comparing the deposited R-factors to results from PDB-REDO (10) (including Whatcheck (11)) to determine the overall density fit as well as many other diagnostics.

In addition to the 200 structures from SARS-CoV previously solved, 367 structures covering 16 of the viral proteins have been released in the span of only 6 months. These structural models serve as basis for research worldwide to understand how the virus hijacks human cells, for structure-based drug design and to aid in the development of vaccines. However, errors often occur in even the most careful structure determination - and are even more common among these structures, which were solved under immense pressure. From the beginning of the pandemic, the Coronavirus Structural Taskforce has categorized, evaluated and reviewed all of these experimental protein structures in order to help downstream users and original authors.

Additionally, no antiviral drugs or vaccines were developed against the closely related coronavirus, SARS-CoV-1 or MERS-CoV, despite previous zoonotic outbreaks. To identify starting points for such therapeutics, we performed a large-scale screen of electrophile and non-covalent fragments through a combined mass spectrometry and X-ray approach against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease, one of two cysteine viral proteases essential for viral replication. Our crystallographic screen identified 71 hits that span the entire active site, as well as 3 hits at the dimer interface. These structures reveal routes to rapidly develop more potent inhibitors through merging of covalent and non-covalent fragment hits; one series of low-reactivity, tractable covalent fragments was progressed to discover improved binders. These combined hits offer unprecedented structural and reactivity information for on-going structure-based drug design against SARS-CoV-2 main protease. url: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.27.118117 doi: 10.1101/2020.05.27.118117 id: cord-282035-jibmg4ch author: Dunbar, R.

In addition, human social networks have a very distinct fractal structure similar to that observed in other primates. In part, this reflects a cognitive constraint, and in part a time constraint, on the capacity for interaction. Structured networks of this kind have a significant effect on the rates of transmission of both disease and information. Because the cognitive mechanism underpinning network structure is based on trust, internal and external threats that undermine trust or constrain interaction inevitably result in the fragmentation and restructuring of networks. In contexts where network sizes are smaller, this is likely to have significant impacts on psychological and physical health risks. url: https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2020.0446 doi: 10.1098/rspa.2020.0446 id: cord-322885-ob5euspo author: Durdagi, Serdar title: Near-Physiological-Temperature Serial Femtosecond X-ray Crystallography Reveals Novel Conformations of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Active Site for Improved Drug Repurposing date: 2020-09-09 words: 10818.0 sentences: 656.0 pages: flesch: 54.0 cache: ./cache/cord-322885-ob5euspo.txt txt: ./txt/cord-322885-ob5euspo.txt summary: One Sentence Summary Radiation-damage-free high-resolution SARS-CoV-2 main protease SFX structures obtained at near-physiological-temperature offer invaluable information for immediate drug-repurposing studies for the treatment of COVID19. Radiation-damage-free SFX method which enables obtaining the novel high-resolution ambient-temperature structures of the binding pocket of Mpro provides an unprecedented opportunity for identification of highly effective inhibitors for drug repurposing by using a hybrid approach that combines structural and in silico methods.

Our current study took advantage of the availability of the SARS CoV main proteinase amino acid sequence to map out the nucleotide coding region for the same protein in the 2019-nCoV. The predicted secondary structure composition shows a high degree of alpha helix and beta sheets, respectively, occupying 45 and 47% of the total residues with the percentage loop occupancy at 8% regarded as comparative modeling, constructs atomic models based on known structures or structures that have been determined experimentally and likewise share more than 40% sequence homology. abstract: BACKGROUND: The 2019-nCoV which is regarded as a novel coronavirus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. It is infectious to humans and is the cause of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak which has elicited an emergency in public health and a call for immediate international concern has been linked to it. The coronavirus main proteinase which is also known as the 3C-like protease (3CLpro) is a very important protein in all coronaviruses for the role it plays in the replication of the virus and the proteolytic processing of the viral polyproteins. The resultant cytotoxic effect which is a product of consistent viral replication and proteolytic processing of polyproteins can be greatly reduced through the inhibition of the viral main proteinase activities. This makes the 3C-like protease of the coronavirus a potential and promising target for therapeutic agents against the viral infection. RESULTS: This study describes the detailed computational process by which the 2019-nCoV main proteinase coding sequence was mapped out from the viral full genome, translated and the resultant amino acid sequence used in modeling the protein 3D structure. Comparative physiochemical studies were carried out on the resultant target protein and its template while selected HIV protease inhibitors were docked against the protein binding sites which contained no co-crystallized ligand. CONCLUSION: In line with results from this study which has shown great consistency with other scientific findings on coronaviruses, we recommend the administration of the selected HIV protease inhibitors as first-line therapeutic agents for the treatment of the current coronavirus epidemic. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7529470/ doi: 10.1186/s43042-020-00081-5 id: cord-102463-d440jsek author: Eguchi, Raphael R. title: IG-VAE: Generative Modeling of Immunoglobulin Proteins by Direct 3D Coordinate Generation date: 2020-08-10 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: While deep learning models have seen increasing applications in protein science, few have been implemented for protein backbone generation—an important task in structure-based problems such as active site and interface design. We present a new approach to building class-specific backbones, using a variational auto-encoder to directly generate the 3D coordinates of immunoglobulins. Our model is torsion- and distance-aware, learns a high-resolution embedding of the dataset, and generates novel, high-quality structures compatible with existing design tools. We show that the Ig-VAE can be used to create a computational model of a SARS-CoV2-RBD binder via latent space sampling. We further demonstrate that the model’s generative prior is a powerful tool for guiding computational protein design, motivating a new paradigm under which backbone design is solved as constrained optimization problem in the latent space of a generative model. url: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.08.07.242347 doi: 10.1101/2020.08.07.242347 id: cord-252166-qah877pk author: Ekins, S title: In silico pharmacology for drug discovery: applications to targets and beyond date: 2007-09-01 words: 12663.0 sentences: 571.0 pages: flesch: 41.0 cache: ./cache/cord-252166-qah877pk.txt txt: ./txt/cord-252166-qah877pk.txt summary: These in silico methods include databases, quantitative structure-activity relationships, similarity searching, pharmacophores, homology models and other molecular modeling, machine learning, data mining, network analysis tools and data analysis tools that use a computer.

These groups were: proteins that oxidize disulfides following expulsion of metals such as Zn; proteins that exhibited major reorganization or ''''morphing'''' of portions of the polypeptide backbone in association with disulfide redox-activity; proteins that exhibited order/disorder transitions; and proteins that exhibited changes in quaternary structure. Twenty-nine Redox Pair protein clusters with intermolecular disulfide bonds exhibit changes in quaternary structure upon oxidation/reduction. We were previously aware of two instances where subdomain morphing of proteins has been associated with reversible disulfide reduction: a redox-controlled structural reorganization of the ion channel CLIC1 proposed to regulate its insertion into membranes, 18 and sequential oxidation of the transcription factor OxyR in response to oxidative stress which modulates its quaternary structure and DNA-binding properties. abstract: Disulfides are conventionally viewed as structurally stabilizing elements in proteins but emerging evidence suggests two disulfide subproteomes exist. One group mediates the well known role of structural stabilization. A second redox-active group are best known for their catalytic functions but are increasingly being recognized for their roles in regulation of protein function. Redox-active disulfides are, by their very nature, more susceptible to reduction than structural disulfides; and conversely, the Cys pairs that form them are more susceptible to oxidation. In this study, we searched for potentially redox-active Cys Pairs by scanning the Protein Data Bank for structures of proteins in alternate redox states. The PDB contains over 1134 unique redox pairs of proteins, many of which exhibit conformational differences between alternate redox states. Several classes of structural changes were observed, proteins that exhibit: disulfide oxidation following expulsion of metals such as zinc; major reorganisation of the polypeptide backbone in association with disulfide redox-activity; order/disorder transitions; and changes in quaternary structure. Based on evidence gathered supporting disulfide redox activity, we propose disulfides present in alternate redox states are likely to have physiologically relevant redox activity. url: http://europepmc.org/articles/pmc2776962?pdf=render doi: 10.1002/pro.175 id: cord-003020-q69f57el author: Farhadi, Tayebeh title: Computer-aided design of amino acid-based therapeutics: a review date: 2018-05-14 words: 8671.0 sentences: 583.0 pages: flesch: 41.0 cache: ./cache/cord-003020-q69f57el.txt txt: ./txt/cord-003020-q69f57el.txt summary: Computational techniques play a key role to design and develop the amino acid-based therapeutics such as proteins, peptides and peptidomimetics.

Computer-aided design of amino acid-based therapeutics to model peptide binding to targets of interest. 28, 134 Sequence-based method Recently, a method has been developed to rank peptide compound matches that are limited to short linear motifs in proteins and compounds with amino acid substituents. abstract: During the last two decades, the pharmaceutical industry has progressed from detecting small molecules to designing biologic-based therapeutics. Amino acid-based drugs are a group of biologic-based therapeutics that can effectively combat the diseases caused by drug resistance or molecular deficiency. Computational techniques play a key role to design and develop the amino acid-based therapeutics such as proteins, peptides and peptidomimetics. In this study, it was attempted to discuss the various elements for computational design of amino acid-based therapeutics. Protein design seeks to identify the properties of amino acid sequences that fold to predetermined structures with desirable structural and functional characteristics. Peptide drugs occupy a middle space between proteins and small molecules and it is hoped that they can target “undruggable” intracellular protein–protein interactions. Peptidomimetics, the compounds that mimic the biologic characteristics of peptides, present refined pharmacokinetic properties compared to the original peptides. Here, the elaborated techniques that are developed to characterize the amino acid sequences consistent with a specific structure and allow protein design are discussed. Moreover, the key principles and recent advances in currently introduced computational techniques for rational peptide design are spotlighted.

The absence of well-defined density for F301 in SeMV protease suggests that its side chain might undergo substantial displacement on binding of the substrate or on conformational changes induced by the interaction of the protease domain with VPg.

The crystal structure of the protease domain was determined to a resolution of 2.4 Å using multiple isomorphous replacement and anomalous scattering. The SeMV protease domain exhibited the characteristic trypsin fold and was found to be closer to cellular serine proteases than to other viral proteases. The residues of the S1-binding pocket, H298, T279 and N308 were mutated to alanine in the ΔN70-Protease–VPg polyprotein, and the cis-cleavage activity was examined. The H298A and T279A mutants were inactive, while the N308A mutant was partially active, suggesting that the interactions of H298 and T279 with P1-glutamate are crucial for the E–T/S cleavage. A region of exposed aromatic amino acids, probably essential for interaction with VPg, was identified on the protease domain, and this interaction could play a major role in modulating the function of the protease. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7111806/ doi: 10.1016/j.virol.2005.11.011 id: cord-009660-23cdi61w author: Györkey, Ferenc title: Electron microscopic observations on structures resembling myxovirus in human sarcomas date: 2006-06-27 words: 1887.0 sentences: 129.0 pages: flesch: 46.0 cache: ./cache/cord-009660-23cdi61w.txt txt: ./txt/cord-009660-23cdi61w.txt summary: Herpes, adeno-and reoviruses, as well as elementary bodies of mycoplasma, occasionally occur in human tumors probably as passengers and not -~ as etiologically important agents.1~8~20 Occasionally, type C and related virus-like particles were found in neoplastic tissues deriving from human leukemia, lymphoma, and sarcoma.8J6 T h e number of these particles rapidly diminishes in cells cultured in vitro; thus, these viruslike particles have never been identified as the human counterparts of oncogenic type C viruses of animals.

Numerical studies based on kinetic folding and a simple extension of the standard energy model show that the global features of the sequence-structure map of RNA do not change when pseudo-knots are introduced into the secondary structure picture. In case of one particular class of biopolymers, the ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules, decoding of information stored in the sequence can be properly decomposed into two steps: (i) formation of the secondary structure, that is, of the pattern of Watson-Crick (and GU) base pairs, and (ii) the embedding of the contact structure in three-dimensional space. On the other hand, an increasing number of experimental findings, as well as results from comparative sequence analysis, suggest that pseudo-knots are important structural elements in many RNA molecules (Westhof and Jaeger, 1992) . abstract: The secondary structures of nucleic acids form a particularly important class of contact structures. Many important RNA molecules, however, contain pseudo-knots, a structural feature that is excluded explicitly from the conventional definition of secondary structures. We propose here a generalization of secondary structures incorporating ‘non-nested’ pseudo-knots, which we call bi-secondary structures, and discuss measures for the complexity of more general contact structures based on their graph-theoretical properties. Bi-secondary structures are planar trivalent graphs that are characterized by special embedding properties. We derive exact upper bounds on their number (as a function of the chain length n) implying that there are fewer different structures than sequences. Computational results show that the number of bi-secondary structures grows approximately like 2.35(n). Numerical studies based on kinetic folding and a simple extension of the standard energy model show that the global features of the sequence-structure map of RNA do not change when pseudo-knots are introduced into the secondary structure picture. We find a large fraction of neutral mutations and, in particular, networks of sequences that fold into the same shape.

Other structures include the specificity domains of both A[17] and B-type ribonuclease P [18 ] ; RNAs corresponding to a guanine-responsive riboswitch (xpt) complexed with guanine [19 ] or hypoxanthine [20] , and an adenosine-responsive riboswitch (add) complexed with adenosine [19 ] ; a highly conserved stem-loop motif found at the 3 0 end of the genome of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus and other coronaviruses [21 ] ; the core encapsidation signal of MMLV [2 ] ; and complexes between a high-affinity RNA aptamer and the NF-kB p50 homodimer [22] , and between the archaeal RNAbinding protein L7Ae and an RNA K-turn derived from a H/ACA small RNA [23] . abstract: The database of RNA structure has grown tremendously since the crystal structure analyses of ribosomal subunits in 2000–2001. During the past year, the trend toward determining the structure of large, complex biological RNAs has accelerated, with the analysis of three intact group I introns, A- and B-type ribonuclease P RNAs, a riboswitch–substrate complex and other structures. The growing database of RNA structures, coupled with efforts directed at the standardization of nomenclature and classification of motifs, has resulted in the identification and characterization of numerous RNA secondary and tertiary structure motifs. Because a large proportion of RNA structure can now be shown to be composed of these recurring structural motifs, a view of RNA as a modular structure built from a combination of these building blocks and tertiary linkers is beginning to emerge. At the same time, however, more detailed analysis of water, metal, ligand and protein binding to RNA is revealing the effect of these moieties on folding and structure formation. The balance between the views of RNA structure either as strictly a construct of preformed building blocks linked in a limited number of ways or as a flexible polymer assuming a global fold influenced by its environment will be the focus of current and future RNA structural biology. url: https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/S0959440X05000849 doi: 10.1016/j.sbi.2005.04.005 id: cord-266543-ng9zr299 author: Klebe, Gerhard title: Virtual ligand screening: strategies, perspectives and limitations date: 2006-06-20 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: In contrast to high-throughput screening, in virtual ligand screening (VS), compounds are selected using computer programs to predict their binding to a target receptor.

Interestingly, in silico predictions of the RNA structure of the SARS-CoV-2 genome using RNAz (Rangan, Zheludev and Das, 2020) and ScanFold (Andrews et al., 2020) do not find the 3-stem pseudoknot but instead support our in-cell model of Alternative Stem 1. abstract: SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus with a single-stranded, positive-sense, 30-kilobase RNA genome responsible for the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, there are no antiviral drugs or vaccines with proven efficacy, and development of these treatments are hampered by our limited understanding of the molecular and structural biology of the virus. Like many other RNA viruses, RNA structures in coronaviruses regulate gene expression and are crucial for viral replication. Although genome and transcriptome data were recently reported, there is to date little experimental data on predicted RNA structures in SARS-CoV-2 and most putative regulatory sequences are uncharacterized. Here we report the secondary structure of the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome in infected cells at single nucleotide resolution using dimethyl sulfate mutational profiling with sequencing (DMS-MaPseq). Our results reveal previously undescribed structures within critical regulatory elements such as the genomic transcription-regulating sequences (TRSs). Contrary to previous studies, our in-cell data show that the structure of the frameshift element, which is a major drug target, is drastically different from prevailing in vitro models. The genomic structure detailed here lays the groundwork for coronavirus RNA biology and will guide the design of SARS-CoV-2 RNA-based therapeutics. url: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.06.29.178343 doi: 10.1101/2020.06.29.178343 id: cord-013387-q91052qw author: Leão, Rozires P. title: Identification of New Rofecoxib-Based Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors: A Bioinformatics Approach date: 2020-08-26 words: 12136.0 sentences: 651.0 pages: flesch: 43.0 cache: ./cache/cord-013387-q91052qw.txt txt: ./txt/cord-013387-q91052qw.txt summary: In this initial stage, the pivot molecule rofecoxib was used as a research model for the virtual screening in six commercial molecule databases: Chembridge DIVERSetEXP, DIVERSet CORE Library (https://www.chembridge.com) [24] , Maybridge Collections (www.maybridge.com) [25, 26] , ZINC Drug Database, ZINC Natural Stock (http://zinc.docking.org) [27] , and Drug FDA BindingDB (http://www.bindingdb.org) [27] using the programs Rapid Overlay of Chemical Structures (ROCS) and electrostatic similarity (EON). The bioactivity scores of the LMQC72, LMQC36, and LMQC50 structures were calculated for different parameters, as receptor binding of the ligand to the G protein coupled (GPCR) and nuclear receptor ligand, modulating ion channel, kinase inhibition, protease inhibition, and inhibition of enzyme activity. The bioactivity scores of the LMQC72, LMQC36, and LMQC50 structures were calculated for different parameters, as receptor binding of the ligand to the G protein coupled (GPCR) and nuclear receptor ligand, modulating ion channel, kinase inhibition, protease inhibition, and inhibition of enzyme activity. abstract: The cyclooxygenase-2 receptor is a therapeutic target for planning potential drugs with anti-inflammatory activity. The selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor rofecoxib was selected as a pivot molecule to perform virtual ligand-based screening from six commercial databases. We performed the search for similarly shaped Rapid Overlay of Chemical Structures (ROCS) and electrostatic (EON) compounds. After, we used pharmacokinetic and toxicological parameters to determine the best potential compounds, obtained through the softwares QikProp and Derek, respectively. Then, the compounds proceeded to the molecular anchorage study, which showed promising results of binding affinity with the hCOX-2 receptor: LMQC72 (∆G = −11.0 kcal/mol), LMQC36 (∆G = −10.6 kcal/mol), and LMQC50 (∆G = −10.2 kcal/mol). LMQC72 and LMQC36 showed higher binding affinity compared to rofecoxib (∆G = −10.4 kcal/mol). Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to evaluate the interaction of the compounds with the target hCOX-2 during 150 ns. In all MD simulation trajectories, the ligands remained interacting with the protein until the end of the simulation. The compounds were also complexing with hCOX-2 favorably. The compounds obtained the following affinity energy values: rofecoxib: ΔGbind = −45.31 kcal/mol; LMQC72: ΔGbind = −38.58 kcal/mol; LMQC36: ΔGbind = −36.10 kcal/mol; and LMQC50: ΔGbind = −39.40 kcal/mol. The selected LMQC72, LMQC50, and LMQC36 structures showed satisfactory pharmacokinetic results related to absorption and distribution. The toxicological predictions of these compounds did not display alerts for possible toxic groups and lower risk of cardiotoxicity compared to rofecoxib. Therefore, future in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to confirm the anti-inflammatory potential of the compounds selected here with bioinformatics approaches based on rofecoxib ligand. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7559105/ doi: 10.3390/ph13090209 id: cord-346965-0oq2n0af author: Liu, Zhi-Ping title: Bridging protein local structures and protein functions date: 2008-04-18 words: 14491.0 sentences: 810.0 pages: flesch: 44.0 cache: ./cache/cord-346965-0oq2n0af.txt txt: ./txt/cord-346965-0oq2n0af.txt summary: The characteristics between interface and noninterface portions of a protein surface, such as sequence conservation, proportions of amino acids, secondary structure, solvent accessibility and side-chain conformational entropy, are often used to distinguish the specificity of local structures relating to protein binding function. The method relies on a simplified representation of the chemical groups found in amino acid side-chains to identify functional sites from a single protein structure and a number of its sequence homologs. (2006) improved previous approaches by combining two known measures of ''functionality'' in proteins, i.e. cleft volume and residue conservation, to develop a method for identifying the location of ligand-binding pockets in proteins. (2006) applied an SVM method to predict DNA-binding sites using the features including amino acid sequence, profile of evolutionary conservation of sequence positions, and low-resolution structural information. (2006) developed a method to predict both protein-protein binding site location and interface type (obligate or non-obligate) using a Bayesian network in combination with surface patch analysis. abstract: One of the major goals of molecular and evolutionary biology is to understand the functions of proteins by extracting functional information from protein sequences, structures and interactions. In this review, we summarize the repertoire of methods currently being applied and report recent progress in the field of in silico annotation of protein function based on the accumulation of vast amounts of sequence and structure data. In particular, we emphasize the newly developed structure-based methods, which are able to identify locally structural motifs and reveal their relationship with protein functions. These methods include computational tools to identify the structural motifs and reveal the strong relationship between these pre-computed local structures and protein functions. We also discuss remaining problems and possible directions for this exciting and challenging area. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18421562/ doi: 10.1007/s00726-008-0088-8 id: cord-017181-ywz6w2po author: Maus, Carsten title: Component-Based Modelling of RNA Structure Folding date: 2008 words: 5364.0 sentences: 284.0 pages: flesch: 51.0 cache: ./cache/cord-017181-ywz6w2po.txt txt: ./txt/cord-017181-ywz6w2po.txt summary: As this regulating process depends largely on structure formation, modelling of RNA folding would be a big step in the right direction for reflecting attenuation dynamics. Additionally, modelling interactions between mRNA and RNAP as well as mRNA and the ribosome are needed because both influence the kinetic folding process and RNA termination structures break up gene transcription. If observed structures are present during folding simulation, the macro level model can signalise this information and thus trigger dynamics to other components by adding new ports to itself (representing docking sites) or send messages over existing ports. Simulating the RNA folding with Kinfold [12] results in a five times higher amount of the 2-helix conformation than the single hairpin, but their total sum is about 60% of all molecules and thus less misfolded structures can be observed. The pattern observation function of the RNA folding model, which is realised at macro level, allows us to look for an intrinsic transcription termination structure [2] during simulation. abstract: RNA structure is fundamentally important for many biological processes. In the past decades, diverse structure prediction algorithms and tools were developed but due to missing descriptions in clearly defined modelling formalisms it’s difficult or even impossible to integrate them into larger system models. We present an RNA secondary structure folding model described in ml-Devs, a variant of the Devs formalism, which enables the hierarchical combination with other model components like RNA binding proteins. An example of transcriptional attenuation will be given where model components of RNA polymerase, the folding RNA molecule, and the translating ribosome play together in a composed dynamic model. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7121681/ doi: 10.1007/978-3-540-88562-7_8 id: cord-304794-z2kx314h author: Métifiot, Mathieu title: G-quadruplexes in viruses: function and potential therapeutic applications date: 2014-11-10 words: 9102.0 sentences: 490.0 pages: flesch: 47.0 cache: ./cache/cord-304794-z2kx314h.txt txt: ./txt/cord-304794-z2kx314h.txt summary: Conversely, a G-quadruplex or G4 is formed by nucleic acid sequences (DNA or RNA) containing G-tracts or Gblocks (adjacent runs of guanines) and composed of various numbers of guanines. Short RNA templates from the central region of the HIV-1 genome contain G-rich sequences near the central polypurine tract (cPPT) at the 3 end of the pol gene (IN coding sequence); this is a region where one of the two primers used for synthesizing the (−) strand DNA is produced during reverse transcription. In addition, one could imagine alternative therapeutic strategies focused on targeting RNA structures within viral ORFs to interfere with the virus cycle as well as to promote antigen presentation and to stimulate the host immune response. Topology of a DNA G-quadruplex structure formed in the HIV-1 promoter: a potential target for anti-HIV drug development U3 Region in the HIV-1 genome adopts a G-quadruplex structure in its RNA and DNA sequence abstract: G-rich nucleic acids can form non-canonical G-quadruplex structures (G4s) in which four guanines fold in a planar arrangement through Hoogsteen hydrogen bonds. Although many biochemical and structural studies have focused on DNA sequences containing successive, adjacent guanines that spontaneously fold into G4s, evidence for their in vivo relevance has recently begun to accumulate. Complete sequencing of the human genome highlighted the presence of ∼300 000 sequences that can potentially form G4s. Likewise, the presence of putative G4-sequences has been reported in various viruses genomes [e.g., Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), papillomavirus (HPV)]. Many studies have focused on telomeric G4s and how their dynamics are regulated to enable telomere synthesis. Moreover, a role for G4s has been proposed in cellular and viral replication, recombination and gene expression control. In parallel, DNA aptamers that form G4s have been described as inhibitors and diagnostic tools to detect viruses [e.g., hepatitis A virus (HAV), EBV, cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), severe acute respiratory syndrome virus (SARS), simian virus 40 (SV40)]. Here, special emphasis will be given to the possible role of these structures in a virus life cycle as well as the use of G4-forming oligonucleotides as potential antiviral agents and innovative tools. url: https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gku999 doi: 10.1093/nar/gku999 id: cord-330590-nu8ckeud author: Nieto-Rabiela, F. title: Viral metacommunities associated to bats and rodents at different spatial scales date: 2018-12-30 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: One of the main goals of community ecology is to measure the relative importance of environmental filters to understand patterns of species distribution at different temporal and spatial scales. Likewise, the identification of factors that shape symbiont metacommunity structures is important in disease ecology because resulting structures drive disease transmission. We tested the hypothesis that distributions of virus species and viral families from rodents and bats are defined by shared responses to host phylogeny and host functional characteristics, shaping the viral metacommunity structures at four spatial scales (Continental, Biogeographical, Zoogeographical, and Regional). The contribution of host phylogeny and host traits to the metacommunity of viruses at each spatial scale was calculated using a redundant analysis of canonical ordering (RDA). For rodents, at American Continental scale the coherence of viral species metacommunity increased while the spatial scale decreased and Quasi-Clementsian structures were observed. This pattern suggests a restricted distribution of viruses through their hosts, while in the Big Mass (Europe, Africa, and Asia), the coherence decreased as spatial scale decreased. Viral species metacommunities associated with bats was dominated by random structures along all spatial scales. We suggest that this random pattern is a result of the presence of viruses with high occupancy range such as rabies (73%) and coronavirus (27%), that disrupt such structures. At viral family scale, viral metacommunities associated with bats showed coherent structures, with the emergence of Quasi- Clementsian and Checkerboard structures. RDA analysis indicates that the assemblage of viral diversity associated with rodents and bats responds to phylogenetic and functional characteristics, which alternate between spatial scales. Several of these variations could be subject to the spatial scale, in spite of this, we could identify patterns at macro ecological scale. The application of metacommunity theory at symbiont scales is particularly useful for large-scale ecological analysis. Understanding the rules of host-virus association can be useful to take better decisions in epidemiological surveillance, control and even predictions of viral distribution and dissemination.

Barreca and co-authors developed a 3D structure-based pharmacophore model with LIGANDSCOUT for the discovery of new scaffolds acting as HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors by virtual screening of large chemical databases. Based on the co-crystal structure of AChE with its ligand galanthamine, a structure-based pharmacophore model was generated and used for an in silico screening of a multi-conformational database consisting of more than 110,000 NPs. From the obtained hit list, promising, virtually active candidates were selected, namely scopoletin (7) and its glucoside scopolin (8) . abstract: In this survey the impact of the virtual screening concept is discussed in the field of drug discovery from nature. Confronted by a steadily increasing number of secondary metabolites and a growing number of molecular targets relevant in the therapy of human disorders, the huge amount of information needs to be handled. Virtual screening filtering experiments already showed great promise for dealing with large libraries of potential bioactive molecules. It can be utilized for browsing databases for molecules fitting either an established pharmacophore model or a three dimensional (3D) structure of a macromolecular target. However, for the discovery of natural lead candidates the application of this in silico tool has so far almost been neglected. There are several reasons for that. One concerns the scarce availability of natural product (NP) 3D databases in contrast to synthetic libraries; another reason is the problematic compatibility of NPs with modern robotized high throughput screening (HTS) technologies. Further arguments deal with the incalculable availability of pure natural compounds and their often too complex chemistry. Thus research in this field is time-consuming, highly complex, expensive and ineffective. Nevertheless, naturally derived compounds are among the most favorable source of drug candidates. A more rational and economic search for new lead structures from nature must therefore be a priority in order to overcome these problems. Here we demonstrate some basic principles, requirements and limitations of virtual screening strategies and support their applicability in NP research with already performed studies. A sensible exploitation of the molecular diversity of secondary metabolites however asks for virtual screening concepts that are interfaced with well-established strategies from classical pharmacognosy that are used in an effort to maximize their efficacy in drug discovery. Such integrated virtual screening workflows are outlined here and shall help to motivate NP researchers to dare a step towards this powerful in silico tool. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18084917/ doi: 10.1007/978-3-7643-8117-2_6 id: cord-292483-u0ycqelc author: Rossmann, Michael G. title: Future prospects date: 2011-04-16 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in combination with single-particle analysis has begun to complement crystallography in the study of large macromolecules at near-atomic resolution. Furthermore, advances in cryo-electron tomography have made possible the study of macromolecules within their cellular environment. Single-particle and tomographic studies will become even more useful when technologies for improving the signal-to-noise ratio such as direct electron detectors and phase plates become widely available. Automated image acquisition has significantly reduced the time and effort required to determine the structures of macromolecular assemblies. As a result, the number of structures determined by cryo-EM is growing exponentially. However, there is an urgent need for improved criteria for validating both the reconstruction process and the atomic models derived from cryo-EM data. Another major challenge will be mitigating the effects of anisotropy caused by the missing wedge and the excessively low signal-to-noise ratio for tomographic data. Parallels between the development of macromolecular crystallography and cryo-EM have been used to tentatively predict the future of cryo-EM. url: https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-386507-6.00005-1 doi: 10.1016/b978-0-12-386507-6.00005-1 id: cord-264489-h1n9ywbd author: Roy, Urmi title: Insight into the Structures of Interleukin-18 Systems date: 2020-07-31 words: 4347.0 sentences: 273.0 pages: flesch: 52.0 cache: ./cache/cord-264489-h1n9ywbd.txt txt: ./txt/cord-264489-h1n9ywbd.txt summary: The present study, including structural and molecular dynamics simulations, takes a close look at the structural stabilities of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor-bound ligand structures as functions of time. The results help to identify the conformational changes of the ligand due to receptor binding, as well as the structural orders of the apo and holo IL-18 protein complexes. This investigative approach assists in the proper identifications of therapeutic-targets, their structural-assemblies and consistent ligand-receptor interfacial interactions, and thus, plays a vital role in the development of new, innovative medicines (Freudenberg et al. The present simulation study examines the structural stabilities of the ligand-protein, IL-18 and IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) bound ligand structures as functions of time. We analyze here the conformational changes within the ligand-protein, due to receptor binding and, we also identify the possible structurally ordered and disordered region within the apo and holo (ligand-bound) protein complexes. abstract: Structure-based molecular designs play a critical role in the context of next generation drug development. Besides their fundamental scientific aspects, the findings established in this approach have significant implications in the expansions of target-based therapies and vaccines. Interleukin-18 (IL-18), also known as interferon gamma (IFN-γ) inducing factor, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. The IL-18 binds first to the IL-18α receptor and forms a lower affinity complex. Upon binding with IL-18β a hetero-trimeric complex with higher affinity is formed that initiates the signal transduction process. The present study, including structural and molecular dynamics simulations, takes a close look at the structural stabilities of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor-bound ligand structures as functions of time. The results help to identify the conformational changes of the ligand due to receptor binding, as well as the structural orders of the apo and holo IL-18 protein complexes. url: https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/S1476927120302486 doi: 10.1016/j.compbiolchem.2020.107353 id: cord-292985-w62xaa4f author: Römer, Rudolf A. title: Flexibility and mobility of SARS-CoV-2-related protein structures date: 2020-07-12 words: 5201.0 sentences: 341.0 pages: flesch: 61.0 cache: ./cache/cord-292985-w62xaa4f.txt txt: ./txt/cord-292985-w62xaa4f.txt summary: We are using a recent protein flexibility modelling approach, combining protein structural rigidity with possible motion consistent with chemical bonds and sterics. 34 We have performed our analysis through multiple conformational steps starting from the crystal structures of SARS-CoV-2-related proteins as currently deposited in the PDB. In Fig. 1 (a) we see that for the crystal structure of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein N-terminal RNA binding domain (PDB:6m3m), the largest rigid cluster in the pristine structure, i.e. at E cut = 0, largely remains rigid through the dilution process of consecutively lowering E cut values. Last, a protein with 2nd-order rigidity should have the most complex behaviour in terms of flexibility since new possible mobility can be expected throughout the range of E cut values. Moving along directions proposed by an elastic normal model analysis of the crystal structure, we can therefore construct possible motion trajectories that are fully consistent with the bond network and steric constraints. abstract: The worldwide CoVid-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented push across the whole of the scientific community to develop a potent antiviral drug and vaccine as soon as possible. Existing academic, governmental and industrial institutions and companies have engaged in large-scale screening of existing drugs, in vitro, in vivo and in silico. Here, we are using in silico modelling of SARS-CoV-2 drug targets, i.e. SARS-CoV-2 protein structures as deposited on the Protein Databank (PDB). We study their flexibility, rigidity and mobility, an important first step in trying to ascertain their dynamics for further drug-related docking studies. We are using a recent protein flexibility modelling approach, combining protein structural rigidity with possible motion consistent with chemical bonds and sterics. For example, for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the open configuration, our method identifies a possible further opening and closing of the S1 subunit through movement of SB domain. With full structural information of this process available, docking studies with possible drug structures are then possible in silico.

(3) Use significant pairs to calculate the set of conserved structure elements and pseudoknots for the two sequences that maximizes a combined free energy and similarity score. The key point of the DotKnot-PW approach is how to score the similarity of stems, secondary structure elements and H-type pseudoknot candidates derived from sequences Seq x and Seq y . The optimal structure element alignment, which preserves the interval ordering includes structure elements p 1 , p 4 , p 7 in the first sequence and p 1 , p 4 , p 6 in the second sequence pairwise prediction with highest combined free energy and similarity score is taken, DotKnot-PW has an improved average MCC of 0.81. abstract: Motivation: Laboratory RNA structure determination is demanding and costly and thus, computational structure prediction is an important task. Single sequence methods for RNA secondary structure prediction are limited by the accuracy of the underlying folding model, if a structure is supported by a family of evolutionarily related sequences, one can be more confident that the prediction is accurate. RNA pseudoknots are functional elements, which have highly conserved structures. However, few comparative structure prediction methods can handle pseudoknots due to the computational complexity. Results: A comparative pseudoknot prediction method called DotKnot-PW is introduced based on structural comparison of secondary structure elements and H-type pseudoknot candidates.

Despite the computing power of supercomputers, computationally predicting secondary structures with thermodynamic methods is still not feasible when the RNA molecules have long nucleotide sequences and include complex motifs such as pseudoknots. This paper presents RNAVLab (RNA Virtual Laboratory), a virtual laboratory for studying RNA secondary structures including pseudoknots that allows scientists to address this challenge. Two important case studies show the versatility and functionalities of RNAVLab. The first study quantifies its capability to rebuild longer secondary structures from motifs found in systematically sampled nucleotide segments. The extensive sampling and predictions are made feasible in a short turnaround time because of the grid technology used. The second study shows how RNAVLab allows scientists to study the viral RNA genome replication mechanisms used by members of the virus family Nodaviridae. url: https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/S0167819108000902 doi: 10.1016/j.parco.2008.08.002 id: cord-301827-a7hnuxy5 author: Uversky, Vladimir N title: A decade and a half of protein intrinsic disorder: Biology still waits for physics date: 2013-04-29 words: 20971.0 sentences: 1059.0 pages: flesch: 43.0 cache: ./cache/cord-301827-a7hnuxy5.txt txt: ./txt/cord-301827-a7hnuxy5.txt summary: 94 Therefore, the abundance and peculiarities of the charged residues distribution within the protein sequences might determine physical and biological properties of extended IDPs and IDPRs. Also, simple polymer physics-based reasoning can give reasonably well-justified explanation of the conformational behavior of extended IDPs. In general, the conformational behavior of IDPs is characterized by the low cooperativity (or the complete lack thereof) of the denaturant-induced unfolding, lack of the measurable excess heat absorption peak(s) characteristic for the melting of ordered proteins, "turned out" response to heat and changes in pH, and the ability to gain structure in the presence of various binding partners. 183 This analysis revealed that proteins involved in regulation and execution of PCD possess substantial amount of intrinsic disorder and IDPRs were implemented in a number of crucial functions, such as protein-protein interactions, interactions with other partners including nucleic acids and other ligands, were shown to be enriched in post-translational modification sites, and were characterized by specific evolutionary patterns. abstract: The abundant existence of proteins and regions that possess specific functions without being uniquely folded into unique 3D structures has become accepted by a significant number of protein scientists. Sequences of these intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and IDP regions (IDPRs) are characterized by a number of specific features, such as low overall hydrophobicity and high net charge which makes these proteins predictable. IDPs/IDPRs possess large hydrodynamic volumes, low contents of ordered secondary structure, and are characterized by high structural heterogeneity. They are very flexible, but some may undergo disorder to order transitions in the presence of natural ligands. The degree of these structural rearrangements varies over a very wide range. IDPs/IDPRs are tightly controlled under the normal conditions and have numerous specific functions that complement functions of ordered proteins and domains. When lacking proper control, they have multiple roles in pathogenesis of various human diseases. Gaining structural and functional information about these proteins is a challenge, since they do not typically “freeze” while their “pictures are taken.” However, despite or perhaps because of the experimental challenges, these fuzzy objects with fuzzy structures and fuzzy functions are among the most interesting targets for modern protein research. This review briefly summarizes some of the recent advances in this exciting field and considers some of the basic lessons learned from the analysis of physics, chemistry, and biology of IDPs. url: https://doi.org/10.1002/pro.2261 doi: 10.1002/pro.2261 id: cord-310847-63gh2tg4 author: Uversky, Vladimir N title: The alphabet of intrinsic disorder: II.

Glutamic acid is an important functional residue of ordered proteins, where it can be involved in the formation of specific electrostatic valves inside the pores of ion channels, or can play unique catalytic roles in the active sites abstract: The ability of a protein to fold into unique functional state or to stay intrinsically disordered is encoded in its amino acid sequence. Both ordered and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are natural polypeptides that use the same arsenal of 20 proteinogenic amino acid residues as their major building blocks. The exceptional structural plasticity of IDPs, their capability to exist as heterogeneous structural ensembles and their wide array of important disorder-based biological functions that complements functional repertoire of ordered proteins are all rooted within the peculiar differential usage of these building blocks by ordered proteins and IDPs. In fact, some residues (so-called disorder-promoting residues) are noticeably more common in IDPs than in sequences of ordered proteins, which, in their turn, are enriched in several order-promoting residues. Furthermore, residues can be arranged according to their “disorder promoting potencies,” which are evaluated based on the relative abundances of various amino acids in ordered and disordered proteins. This review continues a series of publications on the roles of different amino acids in defining the phenomenon of protein intrinsic disorder and concerns glutamic acid, which is the second most disorder-promoting residue. url: https://doi.org/10.4161/idp.24684 doi: 10.4161/idp.24684 id: cord-324410-be2ith3z author: Wang, Qi title: Accurate Reproduction of 161 Small-Molecule Complex Crystal Structures using the EUDOC Program: Expanding the Use of EUDOC to Supramolecular Chemistry date: 2007-06-13 words: 3772.0 sentences: 160.0 pages: flesch: 48.0 cache: ./cache/cord-324410-be2ith3z.txt txt: ./txt/cord-324410-be2ith3z.txt summary: These results demonstrate the significant influence of crystal packing on small molecule complexation and suggest that EUDOC is able to predict small-molecule complexes and that it is useful for the design of new materials, molecular sensors, and multimeric inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. To expand the application of the EUDOC program to supramolecular chemistry, we tested its ability to reproduce the crystal structures of small-molecule guest-host complexes. Herein we report the results of our docking studies with 161 selected crystal structures of small-molecule guest-host complexes using the EUDOC program.

The results also demonstrate the significant influence of crystal packing on small-molecule complex crystal structures and suggest that the EUDOC program is able to predict 3D structures of small-molecule guest-host complexes with reasonable reliability. abstract: EUDOC is a docking program that has successfully predicted small-molecule-bound protein complexes and identified drug leads from chemical databases. To expand the application of the EUDOC program to supramolecular chemistry, we tested its ability to reproduce crystal structures of small-molecule complexes. Of 161 selected crystal structures of small-molecule guest-host complexes, EUDOC reproduced all these crystal structures with guest structure mass-weighted root mean square deviations (mwRMSDs) of <1.0 Å relative to the corresponding crystal structures. In addition, the average interaction energy of these 161 guest-host complexes (−50.1 kcal/mol) was found to be nearly half of that of 153 previously tested small-molecule-bound protein complexes (−108.5 kcal/mol), according to the interaction energies calculated by EUDOC. 31 of the 161 complexes could not be reproduced with mwRMSDs of <1.0 Å if neighboring hosts in the crystal structure of a guest-host complex were not included as part of the multimeric host system, whereas two of the 161 complexes could not be reproduced with mwRMSDs of <1.0 Å if water molecules were excluded from the host system. These results demonstrate the significant influence of crystal packing on small molecule complexation and suggest that EUDOC is able to predict small-molecule complexes and that it is useful for the design of new materials, molecular sensors, and multimeric inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17565384/ doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0000531 id: cord-022494-d66rz6dc author: Webb, B. title: Comparative Modeling of Drug Target Proteins date: 2014-10-01 words: nan sentences: nan pages: flesch: nan cache: txt: summary: abstract: In this perspective, we begin by describing the comparative protein structure modeling technique and the accuracy of the corresponding models.

The notion of a ''non-specific'' role for carbohydrate has received perhaps its strongest support from studies on cells whose glycosylation processes have been globally altered by mutation or drugs. Consideration of the possible role of carbohydrate in other molecular associations with the plasma membrane will be considered below in sections on hormone-receptor interactions and cellsubstratum (e.g., extracellular matrix) and cell-cell adhesion. Considerable evidence has been adduced that various parasites such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, etc., possess carbohydrate binding proteins which can interact with sugar structures on the surfaces of cells with which the parasites associate (167, 168, (116) (117) (118) (119) . In any case, antibodies and lectins may model potential receptors in cells which might specifically recognize carbohydrate-associated structures. abstract: Carbohydrate has been removed from a number of glycoproteins without major effect on the structure or enzyme activity of the protein. Thus carbohydrate has been suggested to underly a non-primary function for proteins, such as in relatively non-specific interactions with other carbohydrates or macromolecules, stabilization of protein conformation, or protection from proteolysis. This non-specific concept is consistent with both the general similarity in carbohydrate structure on very diverse glycoproteins and the frequent structural microheterogeneity of carbohydrate chains at given sites. The concept is supported in a general sense by the viability of cells whose glycosylation processes have been globally disrupted by mutation or pharmacological inhibitors. In contrast to the above observations, other studies have revealed the existence of specific, selective receptors for discrete oligosaccharide structures on glycoproteins which seem to be important for compartmentalization of the glycoprotein, or the positioning of cells on which the glycoprotein is concentrated. Sometimes multivalency in the carbohydrate-receptor interaction is crucial. There are additional possible roles for carbohydrate in the transduction of information upon binding to a receptor. The possibility of specific roles for carbohydrate is supported by the existence of numerous unique carbohydrate structures, many of which have been detected as glycoantigens by monoclonal antibodies, with unique distributions in developing and differentiated cells. This article attempts to summarize and rationalize the contradictory results. It appears that in general carbohydrate does in fact underlie only roles secondary to a protein's primary function. These secondary roles are simple non-specific ones of protection and stabilization, but often also satisfy the more sophisticated needs of spatial position control and compartmentalization in multicellular eukaryotic organisms. It is suggested that there are advantages, evolutionarily speaking, for the shared use of carbohydrate for non-specific roles and for specific roles primarily as luxury functions to be executed during the processes of cell differentiation and morphogenesis. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3029560/ doi: 10.1007/bf00230632 id: cord-349839-s32d3di2 author: Westhof, Eric title: RNA pseudoknots date: 1992-06-30 words: 3427.0 sentences: 185.0 pages: flesch: 59.0 cache: ./cache/cord-349839-s32d3di2.txt txt: ./txt/cord-349839-s32d3di2.txt summary: In the folding of a single-stranded RNA molecule, there are only three ways in which two base-paired segments can be related to each other: two consecutive hairpins; two helices separated by an internal bulge; and, pseudoknots [1]. The first two motifs can be represented as two-dimensional graphs without self-intersections whereas pseudoknots cannot, as they are fundamentally three-dimensional structures in which the four base-paired strands alternate along the sequence of the RNA molecule. The three types of ''classic'' pseudoknots with co-axial stacking of the two base-paired helices and with single-stranded segments crossing the RNA grooves. The third pseudoknot involves the 530 stem-loop structure [19] , which is known to be important for the binding of tRNA to the ribosomal A site [20] , and was recently shown to be essential for ribosomal function [21.o] . abstract: Abstract RNA pseudoknots result from Watson-Crick base pairing involving a stretch of bases located between paired strands and a distal single-stranded region. Recently, significant advances in our understanding of their structural and functional aspects have been accomplished. At the structural level, modelling and NMR studies have shown that a defined subset of pseudoknots may be considered as tertiary motifs in RNA foldings. At the functional level, there is evidence that the realm of functions encompassed by RNA pseudoknots extends from the control of translation in prokaryotes, retroviruses and coronaviruses to the control of catalytic activity in ribozymes and the control of replication in some plant viruses. url: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0959440X9290221R doi: 10.1016/0959-440x(92)90221-r id: cord-263017-rh86g4jk author: Wigginton, Krista Rule title: Virus disinfection mechanisms: the role of virus composition, structure, and function date: 2011-12-09 words: 3710.0 sentences: 186.0 pages: flesch: 34.0 cache: ./cache/cord-263017-rh86g4jk.txt txt: ./txt/cord-263017-rh86g4jk.txt summary: Non-culturable virus disinfection kinetics must be either determined with human charge studies or predicted using surrogate viruses that can be cultured in vitro but that differ in composition, structure, and function. Coupling structure and composition information aids in our understanding of virus reactivity X-ray crystal structures have been published for numerous enteric viruses [25,26 ,27] and with these reports have come a windfall of valuable information including the location and orientation of capsid protein residues. Specific questions include: 1) Which virus protein residues are involved with fundamental functions and how do these vary amongst different strains and species; 2) What specific chemical modifications take place in the genome and capsid during disinfection and what effects do these modifications have on virus structure and function; 3) How similar are disinfectant-induced modifications amongst various enteric viruses? abstract: Drinking waters are treated for enteric virus via a number of disinfection techniques including chemical oxidants, irradiation, and heat, however the inactivation mechanisms during disinfection remain elusive. Owing to the fact that a number of significant waterborne virus strains are not readily culturable in vitro at this time (e.g. norovirus, hepatitis A), the susceptibility of these viruses to disinfection is largely unknown. An in-depth understanding of the mechanisms involved in virus inactivation would aid in predicting the susceptibility of non-culturable virus strains to disinfection and would foster the development of improved disinfection methods. Recent technological advances in virology research have provided a wealth of information on enteric virus compositions, structures, and biological functions. This knowledge will allow for physical/chemical descriptions of virus inactivation and thus further our understanding of virus disinfection to the most basic mechanistic level. url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coviro.2011.11.003 doi: 10.1016/j.coviro.2011.11.003 id: cord-266921-x9q7dwc4 author: Worrall, Jonathan AR title: Information available at cut rates: structure and mechanism of ribonucleases date: 2006-12-26 words: 4616.0 sentences: 222.0 pages: flesch: 49.0 cache: ./cache/cord-266921-x9q7dwc4.txt txt: ./txt/cord-266921-x9q7dwc4.txt summary: The exoribonuclease RNase II is representative of an extensive enzyme family found in all three domains of life, whose members play roles in the maturation, turn-Structure and mechanism of ribonucleases Worrall and Luisi 131 Whereas DEAD-box helicases use the free energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to disrupt secondary structure, RNase R transduces the favourable free energy of RNA backbone hydrolysis into mechanical work that translates the single-stranded substrate further into the catalytic pocket, much like a ratchet.

The tertiary structure of RNA molecules and RNA–RNA/protein interaction sites are of increasing importance as potential targets for new medicines that treat a broad array of human diseases. Current RNA drugs are split into two groups: antisense RNA molecules and aptamers. In this report, we present a novel workflow to predict RNA tertiary structures and RNA–RNA/protein interactions using the KNIME environment, which enabled us to assemble a combination of RNA-related analytical tools and databases. In this study, three analytical workflows for comprehensive structural analysis of RNA are introduced: (1) prediction of the tertiary structure of RNA; (2) prediction of the structure of RNA–RNA complexes and analysis of their interactions; and (3) prediction of the structure of RNA–protein complexes and analysis of their interactions. In an RNA–protein case study, we modeled the tertiary structure of pegaptanib, an aptamer drug, and performed docking calculations of the pegaptanib-vascular endothelial growth factor complex using a fragment of the interaction site of the aptamer. We also present molecular dynamics simulations of the RNA–protein complex to evaluate the affinity of the complex by mutating bases at the interaction interface. The results provide valuable information for designing novel features of aptamer-protein complexes.

(For an illustration of a "span", see additional file 1: StralSV-RdRp_Suppl_Figure 1.docx.) All residue-residue pairs that are contained within a span''s alignment are used to calculate the sequence variability data at the corresponding position in the query structure. The qualified hits (structure fragments from PDB with detected local similarities to the query structure) for six selected sequence positions (positional hits) of polio RdRp (positions identified in Figure 3 ) were categorized and quantified based on SCOP (Structure Classification of Proteins database; version 1.75, June 2009 release) identifiers [32] . abstract: BACKGROUND: Most of the currently used methods for protein function prediction rely on sequence-based comparisons between a query protein and those for which a functional annotation is provided. A serious limitation of sequence similarity-based approaches for identifying residue conservation among proteins is the low confidence in assigning residue-residue correspondences among proteins when the level of sequence identity between the compared proteins is poor. Multiple sequence alignment methods are more satisfactory--still, they cannot provide reliable results at low levels of sequence identity. Our goal in the current work was to develop an algorithm that could help overcome these difficulties by facilitating the identification of structurally (and possibly functionally) relevant residue-residue correspondences between compared protein structures. RESULTS: Here we present StralSV (structure-alignment sequence variability), a new algorithm for detecting closely related structure fragments and quantifying residue frequency from tight local structure alignments. We apply StralSV in a study of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of poliovirus, and we demonstrate that the algorithm can be used to determine regions of the protein that are relatively unique, or that share structural similarity with proteins that would be considered distantly related. By quantifying residue frequencies among many residue-residue pairs extracted from local structural alignments, one can infer potential structural or functional importance of specific residues that are determined to be highly conserved or that deviate from a consensus. We further demonstrate that considerable detailed structural and phylogenetic information can be derived from StralSV analyses. CONCLUSIONS: StralSV is a new structure-based algorithm for identifying and aligning structure fragments that have similarity to a reference protein. StralSV analysis can be used to quantify residue-residue correspondences and identify residues that may be of particular structural or functional importance, as well as unusual or unexpected residues at a given sequence position.

The misregulation of ncRNA function has been linked with a variety of diseases and disorders ranging from cancers to neurodegeneration. However, a detailed molecular understanding of how ncRNAs function has been limited; due, in part, to the difficulties associated with obtaining high‐resolution structures of large RNAs. Tertiary structure determination of RNA as a whole is hampered by various technical challenges, all of which are exacerbated as the size of the RNA increases. Namely, RNAs tend to be highly flexible and dynamic molecules, which are difficult to crystallize. Biomolecular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy offers a viable alternative to determining the structure of large RNA molecules that do not readily crystallize, but is itself hindered by some technical limitations. Recently, a series of advancements have allowed the biomolecular NMR field to overcome, at least in part, some of these limitations. These advances include improvements in sample preparation strategies as well as methodological improvements. Together, these innovations pave the way for the study of ever larger RNA molecules that have important biological function. RNA Structure and Dynamics > RNA Structure, Dynamics, and Chemistry.

Antiviral potency of griffithsin is likely due to the presence of multiple, similar sugar binding sites that provide redundant attachment points for complex carbohydrate molecules present on viral envelopes. Another conserved broad loop with the GGSGG sequence, 86-90, is located near the secondary carbohydrate binding site in calsepa and follows a course quite different than in banana and parkia lectins, yet similar to the path in the other proteins. The second crystal form, grown from material expressed in plants and containing only 121 residues in a protein chain, was orthorhombic (P2 1 2 1 2 1 ) and contained two griffithsin molecules in the asymmetric unit. abstract: The crystal structure of griffithsin, an antiviral lectin from the red alga Griffithsia sp., was solved and refined at 1.3 Å resolution for the free protein and 0.94 Å for a complex with mannose. Griffithsin molecules form a domain-swapped dimer, in which two β strands of one molecule complete a β prism consisting of three four-stranded sheets, with an approximate 3-fold axis, of another molecule. The structure of each monomer bears close resemblance to jacalin-related lectins, but its dimeric structure is unique. The structures of complexes of griffithsin with mannose and N-acetylglucosamine defined the locations of three almost identical carbohydrate binding sites on each monomer. We have also shown that griffithsin is a potent inhibitor of the coronavirus responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Antiviral potency of griffithsin is likely due to the presence of multiple, similar sugar binding sites that provide redundant attachment points for complex carbohydrate molecules present on viral envelopes. url: https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/S0969212606002565 doi: 10.1016/j.str.2006.05.017 id: cord-031957-df4luh5v author: dos Santos-Silva, Carlos André title: Plant Antimicrobial Peptides: State of the Art, In Silico Prediction and Perspectives in the Omics Era date: 2020-09-02 words: 16609.0 sentences: 954.0 pages: flesch: 43.0 cache: ./cache/cord-031957-df4luh5v.txt txt: ./txt/cord-031957-df4luh5v.txt summary: 19 Plant AMPs are the central focus of the present review, comprising information on their structural features (at genomic, gene, and protein levels), resources, and bioinformatic tools available, besides the proposition of an annotation routine. 26 Plant AMPs are also classified into families considering protein sequence similarity, cysteine motifs, and distinctive patterns of disulfide bonds, which determine the folding of the tertiary structure. 27, 31 These AMP categories will be detailed in the next sections, together with other groups here considered (Impatienlike, Macadamia [β-barrelins], Puroindoline (PIN), and Thaumatin-like protein [TLP]) and the recently described αhairpinin AMPs. The description includes comments on their structure, pattern for regular expression (REGEX) analysis (when available), functions, tissue-specificity, and scientific data availability. 179 As to the TLP structure, this protein presents characteristic thaumatin signature (PS00316): 180, 181 Most of the TLPs have molecular mass ranging from 21 to 26 kDa, 163 possessing 16 conserved cysteine residues (Supplementary Figure S8) involved in the formation of 8 disulfide bonds, 182 which help in the stability of the molecule, allowing a correct folding even under extreme conditions of temperature and pH. abstract: Even before the perception or interaction with pathogens, plants rely on constitutively guardian molecules, often specific to tissue or stage, with further expression after contact with the pathogen. These guardians include small molecules as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), generally cysteine-rich, functioning to prevent pathogen establishment. Some of these AMPs are shared among eukaryotes (eg, defensins and cyclotides), others are plant specific (eg, snakins), while some are specific to certain plant families (such as heveins). When compared with other organisms, plants tend to present a higher amount of AMP isoforms due to gene duplications or polyploidy, an occurrence possibly also associated with the sessile habit of plants, which prevents them from evading biotic and environmental stresses. Therefore, plants arise as a rich resource for new AMPs. As these molecules are difficult to retrieve from databases using simple sequence alignments, a description of their characteristics and in silico (bioinformatics) approaches used to retrieve them is provided, considering resources and databases available. The possibilities and applications based on tools versus database approaches are considerable and have been so far underestimated. url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7476358/ doi: 10.1177/1177932220952739 id: cord-001835-0s7ok4uw author: nan title: Abstracts of the 29th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society date: 2015-10-01 words: 138514.0 sentences: 6150.0 pages: flesch: 40.0 cache: ./cache/cord-001835-0s7ok4uw.txt txt: ./txt/cord-001835-0s7ok4uw.txt summary: Altogether, these results indicate that, although PHDs might be more selective for HIF as a substrate as it was initially thought, the enzymatic activity of the prolyl hydroxylases is possibly influenced by a number of other proteins that can directly bind to PHDs.

Analysis of the results of such studies indicate that folding of SNase fragments is dominated by developing the local and non-local nucleation sites from native-like secondary structures and by intensifying the longrange interactions of residues at nucleation sites with residues further removed in sequence. The results show that at different pH values the aggregation processes of both proteins follow different pathways determined by the variations in the native structure and by the details of the involved conformational changes. abstract: nan url: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7080055/ doi: 10.1007/s00249-005-0504-x id: cord-015619-msicix98 author: nan title: Virus Structure & Assembly date: 2009-02-24 words: 3302.0 sentences: 164.0 pages: flesch: 45.0 cache: ./cache/cord-015619-msicix98.txt txt: ./txt/cord-015619-msicix98.txt summary: The studies were performed with nanoindentation techniques using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), an approach which is becoming a standard method to measure the mechanical properties of viral particles (1, 2) .
