User:Wayne Decatur/UNH BCHEM833 Structural Analysis Workshop Session Fall 2012
From Proteopedia
This workshop follows from a class lecture on October 25th by Wayne Decatur. This workshop was originally scheduled for a previous date; however, it was moved to November 8th 2012 due to the University closing October 30th 2012. |
Getting Started
- Location of this resource is featured in slides from lecture on Blackboard
- Signed up for Proteopedia?
- There is a student account people without accounts can use for today.
- Java-capable browser?
- Optional Software?
- Selected a interesting protein or complex?
- Have a PDB id for a pertinent structure?
- Still need ideas for an interesting structure?
- Search Pubmed with a topic in which you are interested plus the word "crystal"
- See sections 11 through 13 of Eric Martz's class syllabus.
- Still no structure eventually you may want to attempt generating a comparative model at Zhang Server (I-TASSER) as discussed in lecture class
Following up from a question in lecture
- Annotated functional sites - highlighted in structure within every Proteopedia PDB entry that has such sites, see 3d77, 4aic, 2j3x,3qmd, or 3pgx for examples. Rare and when present are often unclear and not more informative than 'Ligands' information and is under considered for not highlighting in Proteopedia PDB entry pages.
- Specialized sites and interfaces (just a few of many examples)
- Yeast snoRNA Database links to site of modification in ribosome.
- 3D Ribosomal modifications maps database is related and has a 'Paint-Your-Own-Feature' to highlight conserved ribosomal locations.
- The GPCR-SSFE Database
- See Websites Using Jmol and Applications Embedding Jmol for many more
- Accompanying Journal articles
- FirstGlance in Jmol (adopted by Nature [example 3D button here above references], Nature Structure, Protein Science [example here of a figure with an interactive version], & Molecular Biology)
- See Journals Using Jmol for more
- It is easier in Proteopedia (especially if not necessarily part of a separate entity such as a database):

Visualization Tools for today
- Jmol via Proteopedia and Firstglance in Jmol.
- POLYVIEW-3D - FAST ROUTE- frees you from needing to learn a software package to make publication quality images or simple animations. Just fill out forms.
- PyMol
Initial Views
Jmol, particularly Firstglance in Jmol, more informative than PyMol
Hands-On Analyses and Visualization
- Measure distance - Try 3sn6 and determine what is the thickness typical cell's lipd bilayer? Or try a meaningful measure on your structure? If curious about thickness, see Orientations of Proteins in Membranes (OPM) database. Specifically see 'Comparison with experimental data' under About OPM.
- Jmol in FirstGlance or Jmol via Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools:
- Double-click on first atom.
- Double-click on second atom.
- PyMol: Two ways
- Jmol in FirstGlance or Jmol via Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools:
- 1d66 in FirstGlance in Jmol
- 1d66 in Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools
- Superposition
- For analysis of buried surface areas in structural complexes:
- I suggest PDBsum reports. See Interface analysis servers. Example: 3sn6 Prot-prot interface report or 1aoi Prot-prot interface report
- Have SPPIDER calculate (example for 3sn6 should be active for next few days--> here and view the data visualized here with POLYVIEW-3D)
- Calculate and view in Jmol ---> Calculate solvent accessible area for portion of protein x that is within 4.5 angstroms (less, if you have hydrogens) of protein and we will work through doing this in class. I would suggest though you primarily rely on PDBsum for real analysis.
- Calculate in PyMol --> http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Get_Area . See here for help visualizing.
Fancy Images Quickly
- use POLYVIEW-3D
- make a publication quality static image (already calculated example that should be good only a few days is here
- Also works for animations and displaying annotations and interactions
- Also via the 'Rendering Script' link it can be a crutch in making PyMol images locally because you can download commands that you can paste into PyMol or adapt further
- use for making an image of buried surface area above
Proteopedia Scene Authoring
- Proteopedia's Scene Authoring Tools
- Load a structure 1d66 or previous scene
- Set your scene. Undo/Redo features.
- Save your scene
- Add the scene to the page
- Try it out and then add and improve. Repeat.

Additional resources for interactions and epitopes
Previously we discussed using PDBsum to analyze deposited solved structures (or our own structures upon submission). These are additional resources that perform similar functions and are here as an expansion of that information and follow-up for Polyview-3D which access some of this analyses for visualizing the data:
- SPPIDER (Solvent accessibility based Protein-Protein Interface iDEntification and Recognition) is used by PolyView-3D. Read about it here. See also, A. Porollo, J. Meller Computational Methods for Prediction of Protein-Protein Interaction Sites. In: Protein-Protein Interactions - Computational and Experimental Tools; W. Cai and H. Hong, Eds. InTech 2012; 472: pp. 3-26.

PMID: 22038731 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] Has a detailed abstract featuring alternatives: ".... A comparison with SPPIDER, ProMate, and meta-PPISP showed that PresCont compares favorably with these highly sophisticated programs, and that its prediction quality is less dependent on the type of protein complex being considered...."

"One of our goals in this paper is to test the validity of a reported interaction by using structural information about the interacting proteins in a cluster. Our idea is simple: first, find the structures of the two interacting proteins from the PDB [10]. If the experimental structure is not available in the PDB for any of the proteins, we predict its structure by comparative modeling. For comparative modeling, we used both CABS modeling [11] and I-TASSER [12-14]. However, the results shown here come only from using I-TASSER. Once, we have both structures, we dock them to predict the interaction complex. We can repeat this method to verify individual interaction in a cluster." "Methods In the present work the yeast protein-protein interaction network is clustered using a spectral clustering method proposed by us in 2006 and the individual clusters are investigated for functional relationships among the member proteins. 3D structural models of the proteins in one cluster have been built – the protein structures are retrieved from the Protein Data Bank or predicted using a comparative modeling approach. A rigid body protein docking method (Cluspro) is used to predict the protein-protein interaction complexes. Binding sites of the docked complexes are characterized by their buried surface areas in the docked complexes, as a measure of the strength of an interaction."

"i. Add missing atoms including polar hydrogen using CHARMM19 (23) and perform a small round of hydrogen minimization to optimize hydrogen bonding. ii. Calculate the change in solvent-accessible surface area upon binding for each residue’s side-chain" "Output is the values of ΔSASA and FastContact energy for each residue" "For a given protein–protein complex submitted by the user, ANCHOR calculates the change in solvent accessible surface area (ΔSASA) upon binding for each side-chain, along with an estimate of its contribution to the binding free energy (19,20). A Jmol-based tool allows the user to interactively visualize selected anchor residues in their pockets as well as the stereochemical properties of the surrounding region such as hydrogen bonding and charge–charge interactions."

- Epitopes - see that page for, "An epitope is the portion of the surface of an antigen that binds to an antibody, or the peptide fragment of a protein antigen that binds to the T lymphocyte antigen receptor when presented by the cognate major histocompatibility protein. The best way to identify an antibody epitope is from a crystal structure of the antibody:antigen complex, where the contacts are evident. There are several servers that attempt to predict epitopes." Polyview-3D incorporates visualizing epitopes predicted elsewhere.
