Vallat B, Berman HM. Structural highlights of macromolecular complexes and assemblies. Curr Opin Struct Biol 2024; 85:102773. [PMID: 38271778 DOI: 10.1016/j.sbi.2023.102773] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
The structures of macromolecular assemblies have given us deep insights into cellular processes and have profoundly impacted biological research and drug discovery. We highlight the structures of macromolecular assemblies that have been modeled using integrative and computational methods and describe how open access to these structures from structural archives has empowered the research community. The arsenal of experimental and computational methods for structure determination ensures a future where whole organelles and cells can be modeled.

Abstract
Structures of many complex biological assemblies are increasingly determined using integrative approaches, in which data from multiple experimental methods are combined. A standalone system, called PDB-Dev, has been developed for archiving integrative structures and making them publicly available. Here, the data standards and software tools that support PDB-Dev are described along with the new and updated components of the PDB-Dev data-collection, processing and archiving infrastructure. Following the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles, PDB-Dev ensures that the results of integrative structure determinations are freely accessible to everyone.
