Handling ligands with Coot
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coot is a molecular-graphics application primarily aimed to assist in model building and validation of biological macromolecules. Recently, tools have been added to work with small molecules. The newly incorporated tools for the manipulation and validation of ligands include interaction with PRODRG, subgraph isomorphism-based tools, representation of ligand chemistry, ligand fitting and analysis, and are described here.

Tools for ligand validation in Coot
Coot is a molecular-graphics program primarily aimed at model building using X-ray data. Recently, tools for the manipulation and representation of ligands have been introduced. Here, these new tools for ligand validation and comparison are described. Ligands in the wwPDB have been scored by density-fit, distortion and atom-clash metrics. The distributions of these scores can be used to assess ...
متن کاملTools for macromolecular model building and refinement into electron cryo-microscopy reconstructions
The recent rapid development of single-particle electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) now allows structures to be solved by this method at resolutions close to 3 Å. Here, a number of tools to facilitate the interpretation of EM reconstructions with stereochemically reasonable all-atom models are described. The BALBES database has been repurposed as a tool for identifying protein folds from density...
متن کاملLigand fitting with CCP4
Crystal structures of protein-ligand complexes are often used to infer biology and inform structure-based drug discovery. Hence, it is important to build accurate, reliable models of ligands that give confidence in the interpretation of the respective protein-ligand complex. This paper discusses key stages in the ligand-fitting process, including ligand binding-site identification, ligand descr...
متن کاملISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF RIBOFLAVIN BINDING PROTIEN FROM COOT EGG-YOLK (Fulica atra)
Riboflavin-binding protein (RfBP) was isolated, purified and characterized from Coot (Fulica atra) egg. The RfBP was purified using DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange chromatography followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The purity of the proteins was judged by SDSPAGE. The protein migrated as a single band on SDS gel with a molecular weight of corresponding to nearly 29 Kd.
متن کاملApproaches to Coot Management in California
Coot depredations have been documented in California since 1886, and shooting has been relied on as the principal means of mitigating damage. Immobilizing agents continue to offer promise as useful nonlethal tools for population reduction programs. Exploration of the use of tribromoethanol in coot capture is described, and the potential for other bird management techniques is discussed.
