SALIGN : a web server for alignment of multiple protein sequences and structures
Summary: Accurate alignment of protein sequences and/or structures is crucial for many biological analyses, including functional annotation of proteins, classifying protein sequences into families, and comparative protein structure modeling. Described here is a web interface to SALIGN, the versatile protein multiple sequence/structure alignment module of MODELLER. The web server automatically determines the best alignment procedure based on the inputs, while allowing the user to override default parameter values. Multiple alignments are guided by a dendrogram computed from a matrix of all pairwise alignment scores. When aligning sequences to structures, SALIGN uses structural environment information to place gaps optimally. If two multiple sequence alignments of related proteins are input to the server, a profile–profile alignment is performed. All features of the server have been previously optimized for accuracy, especially in the contexts of comparative modeling and identification of interacting protein partners
PDBe-KB: collaboratively defining the biological context of structural data
none71: The Protein Data Bank in Europe - Knowledge Base (PDBe-KB, https://pdbe-kb.org) is an open collaboration between world-leading specialist data resources contributing functional and biophysical annotations derived from or relevant to the Protein Data Bank (PDB). The goal of PDBe-KB is to place macromolecular structure data in their biological context by developing standardised data exchange formats and integrating functional annotations from the contributing partner resources into a knowledge graph that can provide valuable biological insights. Since we described PDBe-KB in 2019, there have been significant improvements in the variety of available annotation data sets and user functionality. Here, we provide an overview of the consortium, highlighting the addition of annotations such as predicted covalent binders, phosphorylation sites, effects of mutations on the protein structure and energetic local frustration. In addition, we describe a library of reusable web-based visualisation components and introduce new features such as a bulk download data service and a novel superposition service that generates clusters of superposed protein chains weekly for the whole PDB archive.noneVaradi, Mihaly; Anyango, Stephen; Armstrong, David; Berrisford, John; Choudhary, Preeti; Deshpande, Mandar; Nadzirin, Nurul; Nair, Sreenath S; Pravda, Lukas; Tanweer, Ahsan; Al-Lazikani, Bissan; Andreini, Claudia; Barton, Geoffrey J; Bednar, David; Berka, Karel; Blundell, Tom; Brock, Kelly P; Carazo, Jose Maria; Damborsky, Jiri; David, Alessia; Dey, Sucharita; Dunbrack, Roland; Recio, Juan Fernandez; Fraternali, Franca; Gibson, Toby; Helmer-Citterich, Manuela; Hoksza, David; Hopf, Thomas; Jakubec, David; Kannan, Natarajan; Krivak, Radoslav; Kumar, Manjeet; Levy, Emmanuel D; London, Nir; Macias, Jose Ramon; Srivatsan, Madhusudhan M; Marks, Debora S; Martens, Lennart; McGowan, Stuart A; McGreig, Jake E; Modi, Vivek; Parra, R Gonzalo; Pepe, Gerardo; Piovesan, Damiano; Prilusky, Jaime; Putignano, Valeria; Radusky, Leandro G; Ramasamy, Pathmanaban; Rausch, Atilio O; Reuter, Nathalie; Rodriguez, Luis A; Rollins, Nathan J; Rosato, Antonio; Rubach, Paweł; Serrano, Luis; Singh, Gulzar; Skoda, Petr; Sorzano, Carlos Oscar S; Stourac, Jan; Sulkowska, Joanna I; Svobodova, Radka; Tichshenko, Natalia; Tosatto, Silvio C E; Vranken, Wim; Wass, Mark N; Xue, Dandan; Zaidman, Daniel; Thornton, Janet; Sternberg, Michael; Orengo, Christine; Velankar, SameerVaradi, Mihaly; Anyango, Stephen; Armstrong, David; Berrisford, John; Choudhary, Preeti; Deshpande, Mandar; Nadzirin, Nurul; Nair, Sreenath S; Pravda, Lukas; Tanweer, Ahsan; Al-Lazikani, Bissan; Andreini, Claudia; Barton, Geoffrey J; Bednar, David; Berka, Karel; Blundell, Tom; Brock, Kelly P; Carazo, Jose Maria; Damborsky, Jiri; David, Alessia; Dey, Sucharita; Dunbrack, Roland; Recio, Juan Fernandez; Fraternali, Franca; Gibson, Toby; Helmer-Citterich, Manuela; Hoksza, David; Hopf, Thomas; Jakubec, David; Kannan, Natarajan; Krivak, Radoslav; Kumar, Manjeet; Levy, Emmanuel D; London, Nir; Macias, Jose Ramon; Srivatsan, Madhusudhan M; Marks, Debora S; Martens, Lennart; Mcgowan, Stuart A; Mcgreig, Jake E; Modi, Vivek; Parra, R Gonzalo; Pepe, Gerardo; Piovesan, Damiano; Prilusky, Jaime; Putignano, Valeria; Radusky, Leandro G; Ramasamy, Pathmanaban; Rausch, Atilio O; Reuter, Nathalie; Rodriguez, Luis A; Rollins, Nathan J; Rosato, Antonio; Rubach, Paweł; Serrano, Luis; Singh, Gulzar; Skoda, Petr; Sorzano, Carlos Oscar S; Stourac, Jan; Sulkowska, Joanna I; Svobodova, Radka; Tichshenko, Natalia; Tosatto, Silvio C E; Vranken, Wim; Wass, Mark N; Xue, Dandan; Zaidman, Daniel; Thornton, Janet; Sternberg, Michael; Orengo, Christine; Velankar, Samee
