Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore,  it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.

Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Computer Science
    • Bioinformatics

    Background:

    • Connectomics research relies on accurate segmentation of large electron microscopy datasets.
    • Automatic segmentation algorithms in connectomics require extensive manual correction (proofreading).
    • Existing proofreading tools may not be optimized for speed or user experience.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and implement novel proofreading software for large-scale image data.
    • To evaluate the performance and usability of new proofreading applications.
    • To compare new tools against existing solutions in a user study.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of Mojo (single-user desktop) and Dojo (multi-user web-based) proofreading applications.
    • Quantitative user study involving non-expert participants proofreading connectomics data.
    • Comparison of Mojo, Dojo, and Raveler (existing tool) in terms of accuracy and speed.

    Main Results:

    • Web-based Dojo demonstrated a significant improvement in correction accuracy over a set time.
    • Participants using Dojo reported enhanced usability.
    • The study provided insights into effective visual proofreading software design.

    Conclusions:

    • Dojo offers a more efficient and user-friendly solution for collaborative proofreading in connectomics.
    • Web-based platforms show promise for improving large-scale image data analysis.
    • User experience and collaborative features are critical for effective proofreading tools.
