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: It is shown that PINK1 can phosphorylate every Ub in Ub chains, and phosphoUb has no effect on E1‐mediated E2 charging but can affect discharging of E2 enzymes to form polyUb chains.

TL;DR: This work reports that V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) engages and suppresses T cells selectively at acidic pH such as that found in tumour microenvironments, thereby mediating resistance to anti-tumour immune responses.

Structures of the M1 and M2 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor/G-protein complexes.
TL;DR: Cryo–electron microscopy structures of M1R in complex with G11 and M2R incomplex with GoA are presented and compared to provide a framework for understanding the molecular determinants of G-protein coupling selectivity.

X-ray structure of the mammalian GIRK2–βγ G-protein complex
TL;DR: The resultant structural picture is compatible with ‘membrane delimited’ activation of GIRK channels by G proteins and the characteristic burst kinetics of channel gating, and permits a conceptual understanding of how the signalling lipid phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate and intracellular Na+ ions participate in multi-ligand regulation of GirK channels.

Refinement of macromolecular structures by the maximum-likelihood method.
TL;DR: The likelihood function for macromolecular structures is extended to include prior phase information and experimental standard uncertainties and the results derived are consistently better than those obtained from least-squares refinement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a divide-and-conquer approach is used to generate inter-slice connectivity, and then a case table is created to define triangle topology using linear interpolation.
Improved methods for building protein models in electron density maps and the location of errors in these models.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe strategies and tools that help to alleviate this problem and simplify the model-building process, quantify the goodness of fit of the model on a per-residue basis and locate possible errors in peptide and side-chain conformations.
