BREAKTHROUGH in protein structure prediction! by Eric Martz After decades of slow progress by many groups, in 2020, AlphaFold2 proved able to accurately predict the detailed structures of two-thirds of single protein domains from their amino acid sequences. Pictured is AlphaFold2's prediction for the ORF8 protein of SARS-CoV-2 (black), compared with a subsequently published X-ray crystallographic structure (colors). ORF8 contributes to virulence in COVID-19. >>> Visit this page >>>	About Interactive 3D Complements - I3DCs List of I3DCs How to get an I3DC for your paper Structural flexibility of the periplasmic protein, FlgA, regulates flagellar P-ring assembly in Salmonella enterica. H Matsunami, YH Yoon, VA Meshcheryakov, K Namba, FA Samatey. Scientific Reports 2016 doi: 10.1038/srep27399 A periplasmic flagellar chaperone protein, FlgA, is required for P-ring assembly in bacterial flagella of taxa such as Salmonella enterica or Escherichia coli. Here we present the open and closed crystal structures of FlgA from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, grown under different crystallization conditions. An intramolecular disulfide cross-linked form of FlgA caused a dominant negative effect on motility of the wild-type strain. >>> Visit this I3DC complement >>>	Teaching strategies using Proteopedia Examples of pages for teaching How to add content to Proteopedia Tutorial: The Ramachandran principle, phi (φ) and psi (ψ) angles in proteins by Eric Martz The Ramachandran Principle says that alpha helices, beta strands, and turns are the most likely conformations for a polypeptide chain to adopt, because most other conformations are impossible due to steric collisions between atoms. Check Show Clashes to see where non-bonded atoms are overlapping, and thus in physically impossible positions. >>> Visit this tutorial >>>
