The crystal structures of PI3Kδ co-crystallized with ZSTK474 (PDB ID: 2WXL) and with IC87114 (PDB ID: 2WXE) were retrieved from RCSB Protein Data Bank[44 ]. The kinase domain of PI3Kδ was extracted as the receptor for molecular docking by Glide 5.0 (Schrödinger, LLC) with extra precision (XP). X-370 and CAL-101 were docked into 2WXL and 2WXE respectively. The docked ligand-protein complexs were presented by PyMOL 1.5 (Schrödinger, LLC).

Molecular Docking of PAC1-R Ligands

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The optimized PAC1-R 3D structure acquired from homology modelling was selected as the initial conformation for the docking study. The binding sites were defined according to the complex structure of PAC1-EC1 and PACAP(6–38) (PDB ID: 2JOD). The preprocessing of the PAC1-R 3D structure was implemented using DS2.5, such as hydrogenation and applying CHARMm Forcefield (version 35b1) without CMAP backbone corrections. The 3D structures of small molecular chemicals, including doxycycline and SPAM1, were sketched in DS2.5, and the structure data files were stored following energy minimization. The docking procedure was implemented using the LibDock program of the DS simulation software package. LigScore1, LigScore2, PLP1, PLP2, Jain, PMF and PMF04 were used to score the binding affinity. PyMol 1.5 (Schrödinger LLC, Portland, USA) was used for visual inspection of the results and the graphical representations.

PCA-Based Protein Structure Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The multiple sequence alignment (described above) was used as an input for the principal component analysis as described by (Wang and Kennedy, 2014 (link)). Briefly, all the amino acid positions were ranked according to their occurrence at a given position and amino acids with the same occurrence were ranked according to their alphabetical order. The original residues were replaced with calculated ranks and the resulting table was used to perform PCA. All the calculations were carried out using a Python script (available at https://github.com/misialq/pca-protein-analysis; copy archived at https://github.com/elifesciences-publications/pca-protein-analysis).
A structural model of the rhodococcal Cpa was obtained using the SWISS-MODEL homology-modeling server where structure of the human p97 (PDB-ID: 5C1A) served as a template (Biasini et al., 2014 (link)). Sequence conservation was plotted according to the PCA loadings of the second principal component: positions whose PCA loadings exceeded 30% of the maximal PC2 loading were colored in red (variable) and those below 10% were colored in blue (conserved). Structure drawing was done in PyMOL 1.5 (Schrödinger, LLC).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PRDX1 models with point mutations were prepared based on homology modeling procedures, using Modeller [37 (link)] and evaluated with MetaMQAP [38 (link)] and PROQ [39 (link)]. Protein structures superpositions were prepared with Swiss-PDBViewer [40 (link)]. Figures were prepared with PyMOL 1.5 (Schrödinger). For docking procedures we selected crystal structures-derived models (PDB codes 1QQ2 and 2Z9S) and corresponding models with point mutations, with all rat-specific residues substituted with human equivalents. Docking simulations were carried out with Surflex-Dock 2.6 software [41 (link)] based on the “anchor-and-grow” algorithm for optimized structures of small molecules. We used elNémo web server [42 (link)] to calculate proteins normal modes. Files with coordinates are available in Supplementary Data.

In Silico Modeling of eGFP-OSK1 Fusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A model of eGFP-OSK1 was created using the UCSF Chimera 1.10.1 interface40 (link) to Modeller 9.1441 (link), using the structure of eGFP (PDB ID: 2Y0G) and OSK1 (1SCO) as templates. The N-terminal region containing the His-tag and the (SG4)3 linker between the eGFP and OSK1 modules were presented as disordered.
3D alignment of OSK1 from the generated eGFP-OSK1 model and ChTx from the spatial structure of its complex with the KV1.2-KV2.1 paddle chimera (4JTA) was performed using PyMOL 1.7.4 (Schrödinger).

The H-subunit (residues 2–392) of deoxy-form mushroom tyrosinase protein was obtained from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (ID: 2Y9X) [42 (link)]. Small molecules, including water, holmium (Ho) atoms, and tropolone, excluding copper (II) ions, were removed from the target enzyme. Binuclear copper-binding catalytic site of H-subunit of 2Y9X was slightly modified to fulfill the oxy-form enzyme [43 (link)]. All hydrogens were added. AutoDock 4.2 program was used to predict the ligand-protein interactions [44 (link),45 (link)]. The copper ion parameters were prepared and added to run AutoGrid 4. The 3D structures of KG, MG, AB, l-tyrosine, kojic acid, and cinnamic acid were downloaded from PubChem Compound (NCBI), with compound CIDs of 5281667, 196583, 480819, 6057, 3840, and 444539, respectively. Kojic acid and cinnamic acid [34 (link)] were used as the reported catalytic and mixed type inhibitors against mushroom tyrosinase, respectively, and their binding sites were used to validate the results of AutoDock 4.2 docking analysis. The protein-ligand interactions were visualized and analyzed using PyMOL 1.7.4 (Schrodinger, LLC, Cambridge, MA, USA) for 3D models, and Discovery Studio Visualizer 16.1 (Accelrys, San Diego, CA, USA) was used for 2D diagrams.

The core gp120 trimer consisting of outer and inner domains with truncated N- and C-termini, as well as V1/V2 and V3 variable loops, were extracted from the complex as protein chains A, G, and D using PyMOL 1.74 (Schrödinger, Inc., NY, USA) [82 (link)].

Diffraction data were collected at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble, France) at different beam lines (ID14-4, ID23-1, ID23-2 and ID29-1). All data sets were processed with XDS [62 (link)], intensities of integrated reflections were scaled using XSCALE, and structure factors were calculated using XDSCONV. The structures were solved with the CCP4 suite [63 (link)] using the recombinant BChE structure (PDB entry 1P0I and 4AQD) as the starting model. The initial models were refined by iterative cycles of model building with Coot [64 (link)], then restrained and subjected to TLS refinement with Phenix [65 (link)]. The ligands and their descriptions were built using phenix.elbow included in Phenix. Data collection and refinement statistics are reported in Table S1. Protein structures were illustrated using the program PyMOL 1.8.2 (Schrödinger, Mannheim, Germany). 2Fo-Fc electron density maps of the ligands are represented in Figure S1. The molecular surfaces of the gorges were represented in PyMol with the help of the program Hollow 1.2 [66 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
