Understanding the chemical and ...Functional and versatile nano- and microassemblies formed by biological molecules are found at all levels of life, from cell organelles to full organisms. Understanding the chemical and physicochemical determinants guiding the formation of these assemblies is crucial not only to understand the biological processes they carry out but also to mimic nature. Among the synthetic peptides forming well-defined nanostructures, the octapeptide Lanreotide has been considered one of the best characterized, in terms of both the atomic structure and its self-assembly process. In the present work, we determined the atomic structure of Lanreotide nanotubes at 2.5-Å resolution by cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). Surprisingly, the asymmetric unit in the nanotube contains eight copies of the peptide, forming two tetramers. There are thus eight different environments for the peptide, and eight different conformations in the nanotube. The structure built from the cryo-EM map is strikingly different from the molecular model, largely based on X-ray fiber diffraction, proposed 20 y ago. Comparison of the nanotube with a crystal structure at 0.83-Å resolution of a Lanreotide derivative highlights the polymorphism for this peptide family. This work shows once again that higher-order assemblies formed by even well-characterized small peptides are very difficult to predict.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
