Abstract:
Upon the ever-increasing number of publicly available experimentally determined and predicted protein and nucleic acid structures, the demand for easy-to-use tools to investigate these structural models is higher than ever before. The ProteinsPlus web server (https://proteins.plus) comprises a growing collection of molecular modeling tools focusing on protein-ligand interactions. It enables quick access to structural investigations ranging from structure analytics and search methods to molecular docking. It is by now well-established in the community and constantly extended. The server gives easy access not only to experts but also to students and occasional users from the field of life sciences. Here, we describe its recently added new features and tools, beyond them a novel method for on-the-fly molecular docking and a search method for single-residue substitutions in local regions of a protein structure throughout the whole Protein Data Bank. Finally, we provide a glimpse into new avenues for the annotation of AlphaFold structures which are directly accessible via a RESTful service on the ProteinsPlus web server.
