Abstract

Converting from a manual charting system to an automated charting system is a complex and difficult change. This article discusses project planning tips, training tips, and implementation tips that can make this change a successful one.

Total synthesis of (+/-)-culmorin and (+/-)-longiborneol: an efficient construction of Tricyclo[6.3.0.0(3,9)]undecan-10-one by intramolecular double Michael addition.

The treatment of 4-[(5E)-6-methoxycarbonyl-5-hexenyl]-3, 4-dimethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-one (5) with LHMDS, TMSI-HMDS, Bu(2)OTf-HMDS, or TMSCl-NEt(3)-ZnCl(2) caused the intramolecular double Michael addition to afford tricyclo[6.3.0.0(3, 9)]undecan-10-one 12 in high yields with perfect stereoselectivity. The methodology was further elaborated to achieve efficient total syntheses of (+/-)-culmorin (1) and (+/-)-longiborneol (2). The common precursor 13 of them was obtained from 14 in 94% yield as a single isomer by the treatment with LHMDS. After the conversion of 13 into the corresponding acid 24 by hydrolysis, oxidative decarboxylation using S-(1-oxido-2-pyridinyl)-1,1,3, 3-tetramethylthiouronium hexafluorophosphate (HOTT, 27), followed by the Birch reduction, stereoselectively afforded (+/-)-culmorin (1). (+/-)-Longiborneol (2) was synthesized from 24 by the standard transformation. Additionally, the treatment of 24 with Pb(OAc)(4) led to 28 via uncommon migration. Its structure was determined by X-ray analysis after the transformation into the diketone 29.

The morph server: a standardized system for analyzing and visualizing macromolecular motions in a database framework.

The number of solved structures of macromolecules that have the same fold and thus exhibit some degree of conformational variability is rapidly increasing. It is consequently advantageous to develop a standardized terminology for describing this variability and automated systems for processing protein structures in different conformations. We have developed such a system as a 'front-end' server to our database of macromolecular motions. Our system attempts to describe a protein motion as a rigid-body rotation of a small 'core' relative to a larger one, using a set of hinges. The motion is placed in a standardized coordinate system so that all statistics between any two motions are directly comparable. We find that while this model can accommodate most protein motions, it cannot accommodate all; the degree to which a motion can be accommodated provides an aid in classifying it. Furthermore, we perform an adiabatic mapping (a restrained interpolation) between every two conformations. This gives some indication of the extent of the energetic barriers that need to be surmounted in the motion, and as a by-product results in a 'morph movie'. We make these movies available over the Web to aid in visualization. Many instances of conformational variability occur between proteins with somewhat different sequences. We can accommodate these differences in a rough fashion, generating an 'evolutionary morph'. Users have already submitted hundreds of examples of protein motions to our server, producing a comprehensive set of statistics. So far the statistics show that the median submitted motion has a rotation of approximately 10 degrees and a maximum Calpha displacement of 17 A. Almost all involve at least one large torsion angle change of >140 degrees. The server is accessible at http://bioinfo.mbb.yale. edu/MolMovDB

ProDom and ProDom-CG: tools for protein domain analysis and whole genome comparisons.

ProDom contains all protein domain families automatically generated from the SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL sequence databases (http://www. toulouse.inra.fr/prodom.html ). ProDom-CG results from a similar domain analysis as applied to completed genomes (http://www.toulouse. inra.fr/prodomCG.html ). Recent improvements to the ProDom database and its server include: scaling up to include sequences from TrEMBL, addition of Pfam-A entries to the set of expert validated families, assignment of stable accession numbers, consistency indicators for domain families, domain arrangements of sub-families and links to Pfam-A.
