A base measure of precision for protein stability predictors: structural sensitivity

Octav Caldararu et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the structural sensitivity of stability prediction methods for proteins and found that the methods can be grouped into two categories with varying sensitivity. Accuracy correlates with precision for mutation-type-balanced data sets, highlighting the importance of balance in mutation types. Machine-learning methods may underestimate the significance of protein structure compared to side-chain-sensitive methods.

Pathogenic genetic variants from highly connected cancer susceptibility genes confer the loss of structural stability

Mahjerin Nasrin Reza et al.

Summary: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA damage repair and tumor suppressor genes have been associated with increasing cancer risk. This study focused on gene enrichment analysis of nine genes responsible for various cancer types, with BRCA1, ATM, and TP53 showing higher connectivity. Identifying deleterious SNPs in these genes, especially those impacting protein destabilization, can improve precision medicines for related cancer types. Stabilization of high-risk SNPs was achieved through mutation site-specific molecular docking analysis and validation using molecular dynamics simulation and MM/PBSA studies.
