Abstract: Coot is a molecular-graphics application for model building and validation of biological macromolecules. The program displays electron-density maps and atomic models and allows model manipulations such as idealization, real-space refinement, manual rotation/translation, rigid-body fitting, ligand search, solvation, mutations, rotamers and Ramachandran idealization. Furthermore, tools are provided for model validation as well as interfaces to external programs for refinement, validation and graphics. The software is designed to be easy to learn for novice users, which is achieved by ensuring that tools for common tasks are `discoverable' through familiar user-interface elements (menus and toolbars) or by intuitive behaviour (mouse controls). Recent developments have focused on providing tools for expert users, with customisable key bindings, extensions and an extensive scripting interface. The software is under rapid development, but has already achieved very widespread use within the crystallographic community. The current state of the software is presented, with a description of the facilities available and of some of the underlying methods employed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel variant of concern (VOC) named CAL.20C (B.1.427/B. 1.429), which was originally detected in California, carries spike glycoprotein mutations S13I in the signal peptide, W152C in the N-terminal domain (NTD), and L452R in the receptor-binding domain (RBD).

TL;DR: The atomic structures of five segments from protein low-complexity domains associated with membraneless assemblies, found in proteins as diverse as RNA binders, nuclear pore proteins, and keratins, are determined, which suggest that short segments of two such domains can bind weakly to each other by forming a pair of kinked β-sheets.

TL;DR: DNA- and RNA-like systems built from eight nucleotide “letters” that form four orthogonal pairs that meet the structural requirements needed to support Darwinian evolution, including a polyelectrolyte backbone, predictable thermodynamic stability, and stereoregular building blocks that fit a Schrödinger aperiodic crystal are reported.
JLigand: a graphical tool for the CCP4 template-restraint library.
TL;DR: JLigand is a graphical editor for generating descriptions of new ligands and covalent linkages for biopolymers, their modifications and ligands that are used in macromolecular structure refinement.
