Protocol for an automated virtual screening pipeline including library generation and docking evaluation
Here, we present a protocol for an automated virtual screening pipeline. We describe steps for generating compound libraries for computational docking including Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs, setting up the receptor and grid box, and docking a library of compounds. We then detail procedures for ranking docking results. This protocol offers scripts for Unix-like systems, lowering the access barrier for researchers interested in structure-based drug disc...

Vinculin is a simple adapter protein right? Wrong! That’s been the prevailing view for the 46 years since it was discovered. Here we provide a new paradigm and show that vinculin is a complex mechanosensor itself, containing 6 binary switch domains. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The mechanical response of vinculin
Vinculin buffers force via dynamic domain unfolding/refolding under physiological load and lacks a stable head-tail lock.

I love AlphaFold—but please include PAE (Predicted Aligned Error) plots for every “interaction.” Pretty PDBs ≠ proof. If the PAE doesn’t show an interface, it ain’t one. Show the plots. Structural biology's reputation is on the line.
