The error rate of asparagine (Asn) and glutamine (Gln) amide rotamers in protein crystal structures is in the order of 20% and as a consequence the current Protein Database (PDB) contains approximately half a million incorrect Asn and Gln side-chain rotamers. Here we present NQ-Flipper, a web service based on knowledge-based potentials of mean force to automatically detect and correct erroneous rotamers. We achieve excellent agreement with expert curated data.
蛋白质晶体结构中天冬酰胺(Asn)和谷氨酰胺(Gln)酰胺旋转异构体的错误率约为20%,因此当前的蛋白质数据库(PDB)中包含约50万个错误的Asn和Gln侧链旋转异构体。在此,我们展示了NQ-Flipper,这是一种基于知识平均力势的网络服务,用于自动检测和纠正错误的旋转异构体。我们与专家整理的数据达成了高度一致。
