2020 journal article

Development of a structure-analysis pipeline using multiple-solvent crystal structures of barrier-to-autointegration factor

ACTA CRYSTALLOGRAPHICA SECTION D-STRUCTURAL BIOLOGY, 76, 1001–1014.

By: S. Agarwal, M. Smith*, I. De La Rosa, K. Verba, P. Swartz*, M. Segura-Totten, C. Mattos

author keywords: BAF; multiple solvent crystal structures; conserved water for structure refinement; differentialB-factor analysis
MeSH headings : Binding Sites; DNA / metabolism; DNA-Binding Proteins / chemistry; DNA-Binding Proteins / metabolism; Dimerization; Humans; Ligands; Models, Molecular; Protein Binding; Solvents / chemistry
TL;DR: An MSCS data-handling pipeline is presented that uses the Detection of Related Solvent Positions (DRoP) program to improve data quality, and normalized and differential B-factor analysis is shown to be a valuable tool to characterize the effects of specific solvents on defined regions of BAF.

2009 journal article

Multiple solvent crystal structures of ribonuclease A: An assessment of the method

PROTEINS-STRUCTURE FUNCTION AND BIOINFORMATICS, 76(4), 861–881.

By: M. Dechene n, G. Wink n, M. Smith n, P. Swartz n & C. Mattos n

author keywords: organic solvents; solvent mapping; plasticity; hydration; protein binding sites
MeSH headings : Animals; Catalytic Domain; Cattle; Computer Simulation; Crystallography, X-Ray; Models, Molecular; Pancreas / enzymology; Protein Binding; Protein Conformation; Ribonuclease, Pancreatic / chemistry; Ribonuclease, Pancreatic / metabolism; Solvents / chemistry; Solvents / metabolism; Water / chemistry; Water / metabolism
TL;DR: Comparison of the MSCS structures with inhibitor‐bound crystal structures of RNAse A reveals that the organic solvent molecules identify key interactions made by inhibitor molecules, highlighting ligand binding hot‐spots in the active site. (via Semantic Scholar)
