Detalle de: Memprot.GPCR-ModSim: modelling and simulation of membrane proteins in a nutshell

Summary Memprot.GPCR-ModSim leverages our previous web-based protocol, which was limited to class-A G protein-coupled receptors, to become the first one-stop web server for the modelling and simulation of any membrane protein system. Motivated by the exponential growth of experimental structures and the breakthrough of deep-learning-based structural modelling, the server accepts as input either a membrane-protein sequence, in which case it reports the associated AlphaFold model, or a 3D (experimental, modelled) structure, including quaternary complexes with associated proteins and/or ligands of any kind. In both cases, the molecular dynamics (MD) protocol produces a membrane-embedded, solvated, and equilibrated system, ready to be used as a starting point for further MD simulations, including ligand-binding free energy calculations. Availability and implementation Memprot.GPCR-ModSim web server is publicly available at https://memprot.gpcr-modsim.org/. The standalone modules for 3D modelling (PyModSim) or membrane embedding and MD equilibration (PyMemDyn) are available under CC BY-NC 4.0 license terms at the GitHub repository https://github.com/GPCR-ModSim/.
