Abstract
A large number of enzymes need a metal ion to express their catalytic activity. Among the different roles that metal ions can play in the catalytic event, the most common are their ability to orient the substrate correctly for the reaction, to exchange electrons in redox reactions, to stabilize negative charges. In many reactions catalyzed by metal ions, they behave like the proton, essentially as Lewis acids but are often more effective than the proton because they can be present at high concentrations at neutral pH. In an attempt to adapt to drastic environmental conditions, enzymes can take advantage of the presence of many metal species in addition to those defined as native and still be active. In fact, today we know enzymes that contain essential bulk, trace, and ultra-trace elements. In this work, we report theoretical results obtained for three different enzymes each of which contains different metal ions, trying to highlight any differences in their working mechanism as a function of the replacement of the metal center at the active site.

Abstract
Ions are ubiquitous in nature. They play a key role for many biological processes on the molecular scale, from molecular interactions, to mechanical properties, to folding, to self-organisation and assembly, to reaction equilibria, to signalling, to energy and material transport, to recognition etc. Going beyond monovalent ions to multivalent ions, the effects of the ions are frequently not only stronger (due to the obviously higher charge), but qualitatively different. A typical example is the process of binding of multivalent ions, such as Ca2+ , to a macromolecule and the consequences of this ion binding such as compaction, collapse, potential charge inversion and precipitation of the macromolecule. Here we review these effects and phenomena induced by multivalent ions for biological (macro)molecules, from the "atomistic/molecular" local picture of (potentially specific) interactions to the more global picture of phase behaviour including, e. g., crystallisation, phase separation, oligomerisation etc. Rather than attempting an encyclopedic list of systems, we rather aim for an embracing discussion using typical case studies. We try to cover predominantly three main classes: proteins, nucleic acids, and amphiphilic molecules including interface effects. We do not cover in detail, but make some comparisons to, ion channels, colloidal systems, and synthetic polymers. While there are obvious differences in the behaviour of, and the relevance of multivalent ions for, the three main classes of systems, we also point out analogies. Our attempt of a comprehensive discussion is guided by the idea that there are not only important differences and specific phenomena with regard to the effects of multivalent ions on the main systems, but also important similarities. We hope to bridge physico-chemical mechanisms, concepts of soft matter, and biological observations and connect the different communities further.

Abstract
A whole series of [Ln(H2O)4(Ala)2]26+ dimeric cationic lanthanide complexes with both L- and D-alanine enantiomers was synthesized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 100 and 292 K shows the formation of two types of dimers (I and II) in crystals. Between the dimer centers, the alanine molecules behave as bridging (μ2-O,O'-) and chelating bridging (μ2-O,O,O'-) ligands. The first type of bridge is present in dimers I, while both bridge forms can be observed in dimers II. The IR and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectra of all L- and D-alanine complexes were registered in the 1750-1250 cm-1 range as KBr pellets. Despite all the studied complexes are exhibiting similar crystal structures, the spectra reveal correlations or trends with the Ln-O1 distances which exemplify the lanthanide contraction effect in the IR spectra. This is especially true for the positions and intensities of some IR bands. Unexpectedly, the ν(C=O) VCD bands are quite intense and their composed shapes reveal the inequivalence of the C=O vibrators in the unit cell which vary with the lanthanide. Unlike in the IR spectra, the ν(C=O) VCD band positions are only weakly correlated with the change of Ln and the VCD intensities at most show some trends. Nevertheless, this is the first observation of the lanthanide contraction effect in the VCD spectra. Generally, for the heavier lanthanides (Ln: Dy-Lu), the VCD band maxima are very close to each other and the mirror reflection of the band of two enantiomers is usually better than that of the lighter Lns. DFT calculations show that the higher the multiplicity the higher the stability of the system. Actually, the molecular geometry in crystals (at 100 K) is well predicted based on the highest-spin structures. Also, the simulated IR and VCD spectra strongly depend on the Ln electron configuration but the best overall agreement was reached for the Lu complex, which is the only system with a fully filled f-shell.

Abstract
This Briefing reviews the widely used, currently active, up-to-date databases derived from the worldwide Protein Data Bank (PDB) to facilitate browsing, finding and exploring its entries. These databases contain visualization and analysis tools tailored to specific kinds of molecules and interactions, often including also complex metrics precomputed by experts or external programs, and connections to sequence and functional annotation databases. Importantly, updates of most of these databases involves steps of curation and error checks based on specific expertise about the subject molecules or interactions, and removal of sequence redundancy, both leading to better data sets for mining studies compared with the full list of raw PDB entries. The article presents the databases in groups such as those aimed to facilitate browsing through PDB entries, their molecules and their general information, those built to link protein structure with sequence and dynamics, those specific for transmembrane proteins, nucleic acids, interactions of biomacromolecules with each other and with small molecules or metal ions, and those concerning specific structural features or specific protein families. A few webservers directly connected to active databases, and a few databases that have been discontinued but would be important to have back, are also briefly commented on. Along the Briefing, sample cases where these databases have been used to aid structural studies or advance our knowledge about biological macromolecules are referenced. A few specific examples are also given where using these databases is easier and more informative than using raw PDB data.

Abstract
We compared the topologies of protein and small molecule crystals, which have many common features - both are molecular crystals with intermolecular interactions much weaker than intramolecular interactions. They also have different features - a considerably large fraction of the volume of protein crystals is occupied by liquid water while no room is available to other molecules in small molecule crystals. We analyzed the overall and local topology and performed multilevel topological analyses (with the software package ToposPro) of carefully selected high quality sets of protein and small molecule crystal structures. Given the suboptimal packing of protein crystals, which is due the special shape and size of proteins, it would be reasonable to expect that the topology of protein crystals is different from the topology of small molecule crystals. Surprisingly, we discovered that these two types of crystalline compounds have strikingly similar topologies. This might suggest that molecular crystal formations share symmetry rules independent of molecular dimension.

Abstract
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) protein are a major cause of the devastating neurodegenerative disorder Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Evidence suggests that SOD1 functions as a free radical scavenger in humans. However, neither the mechanism nor a cure for this neurodegenerative disease are yet known. In the present study, we explored the effect of mutations on the mechanistic action on the Zn binding loop of SOD1 through discrete molecular dynamics. The results were analyzed in detail using statistical potential (BACH) to find the mutant structures having the least potential energy. Subsequently, we studied the impact of those mutations on metal ions bound in SOD1 using the program Check My Metal. Remarkably, our results recognized certain mutants, viz. His80Arg and Asp83Gly, that were more damaging to the Zn binding loop than all other mutants, leading to a loss of Zn binding with altered coordination of the Zn ion. Furthermore, the conformational stability, compactness, and secondary structural alteration of the His80Arg and Asp83Gly mutants were monitored using distinct parameters. Hence, at low computational expense, our study provides helpful insight into this emergent neurodegenerative disorder affecting mankind.
