It’s the most wonderful #glycotime of the year! Let us (@ElisaTelisa @Ojas_Singh_) introduce you to #GlycoShape (glycoshape.org), a web platform that allows users to restore glycoproteins 3D structures (PDB, AF/RoseTTAFold or own) to their natural, functional state by adding the missing glycan structures doi.org/10.1101/2023.12.11.5… 🧵1/8
🚨 New #P2Rank release out! P2Rank can now run fpocket directly and then re-score predictions with PRANK. Additionally, @UCSFChimeraX is now supported for structure visualisation. Glad to have had my tiny contribution to this feature! And it looks so good!
PDB: 4GQQ @PDBeurope
🚀 P2Rank 2.5 now offers ChimeraX visualizations of ligand binding site predictions (alongside PyMOL ones)! Huge thanks to @JavierUtges and @UCSFChimeraX team for inspiration and help.
Release Details: github.com/rdk/p2rank/releas…
💡 Feedback welcome! The current visualization style may not be that useful to biologists and chemists. What would make it more informative? Ideas on style, features, or details to include?

New Nature Methods #glycotime! Restoring protein glycosylation with GlycoShape (glycoshape.org) ihttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-024-02464-7 @ElisaTelisa @unisouthampton
Excited to share my first paper has been published in Nature Methods!! A big thanks to my amazing co-authors @CallumMIves and of course to the support of my team and my supervisor @ElisaTelisa 🎉🎉🎉🔺🟢🟦
Hydrophobic residues at the channel gate allow only the monovalent cations to pass through the TRPM5 ion channel, simulations revealed a new channel mechanism. ow.ly/44QJ50TAgO0
@gly_gen & collaborators shared on their curation workshop held in Padua, Italy. Discover how bioinformatics resources are advancing the collection and annotation of glycan function-related data. Thx @biocurator@SFGlycobiologypubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3913…
Happy to share the final paper from my PhD with @UZDundee and @UoDLifeSciences! In this work we looked into the selectivity of TRPM5, an interesting ion channel implicated in both taste and insulin secretion. 1/4
doi.org/10.1016/j.bpj.2024.0…
We used molecular dynamics simulations under voltage and ion gradients to investigate ion permeation across TRPM5, which revealed a new cation selectivity mechanism underpinned by the function of a ‘‘hydrophobic funnel’’ at the internal exit of the selectivity filter. 3/4
Our pre-print "Comparative evaluation of methods for the prediction of protein-ligand binding sites" is out on Research Square. Check it out!

On this paper we benchmark 11 ligand binding site prediction tools on our curated reference dataset: LIGYSIS!
🚨 We've updated the glycan structure database on @GlycoShape (glycoshape.org)! You can now search through and rebuild glycoproteins with 453 unique glycans 🥳
Glycans are now primarily listed by their GlyTouCan IDs @glytoucan@kiyokof 🎉

Excited to share the Version of Record of our @eLife paper! In this work we show through extensive MD sims (@ElisaTelisa) & ESI-MS (Klassen Group) how glycosylation of SARS-CoV-2 S RBD works with the protein structure to modulate co-receptor binding! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.95708.…
