¹³C NMR: Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT)

1.0K
When proton-coupled carbon-13 spectra are simplified by a broadband proton decoupling technique, structural information about the coupled protons is lost. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) is a technique that provides information on the number of hydrogens attached to each carbon in a molecule. While the DEPT experiment utilizes complex pulse sequences, the pulse delay and flip angle are specifically manipulated. The resulting signals have different phases depending on...

Gene Families

8.8K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Area of Science:

  • Structural Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Protein Data Bank (PDB) accuracy is crucial for downstream applications.
  • Experimental data limitations, especially at low resolution, can introduce errors.
  • Existing validation methods (stereochemistry, map-model agreement) have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel, resolution-independent protein structure validation method.
  • To identify and correct register errors in PDB structures.
  • To improve the overall accuracy and reliability of protein structural data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a validation approach comparing observed residue contacts/distances with AlphaFold2 predictions.
  • Applied the method to scan 3-5 Å resolution structures in the PDB.
  • Implemented suggested corrections and assessed their impact on refinement statistics.

Main Results:

  • Identified thousands of likely register errors in PDB structures.
  • Demonstrated that suggested corrections improve refinement statistics in most cases.
  • Characterized limitations such as fold-switching proteins.

Conclusions:

  • The novel validation approach is effective in detecting register errors, orthogonal to traditional methods, and resolution-independent.
  • Implementation of suggested corrections enhances structural model quality.
  • Expected to improve accuracy of current and future PDB depositions via CCP4 integration.
