Journal: Structure / Year: 2008 Title: De novo backbone trace of GroEL from single particle electron cryomicroscopy.

Using a newly developed skeletonization algorithm and secondary structure element identification in combination with sequence-based secondary structure prediction, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve a de novo Calpha trace directly from a cryo-EM reconstruction. The topology of our backbone trace is completely accurate, though subtle alterations illustrate significant differences from existing crystal structures. In the map with C7 symmetry, the seven monomers in each ring are identical; however, the subunits have a subtly different structure in each ring, particularly in the equatorial domain. These differences include an asymmetric salt bridge, density in the nucleotide-binding pocket of only one ring, and small shifts in alpha helix positions. This asymmetric conformation is different from previous asymmetric structures, including GroES-bound GroEL, and may represent a "primed state" in the chaperonin pathway.

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.
