Objectives: To implement and evaluate a pharmacy resident documentation peer review process.

Setting: The University of Minnesota Postgraduate Year One Pharmacy Residency Program is a multisite program with 25 residents across 16 different health care organizations.

Practice Description: Sites within the program provide comprehensive medication management (CMM) services to patients in ambulatory care settings, including participation in the full patient care process of assessment, care plan development, follow-up, and appropriate documentation.

Motivation: Studying the transport paths of ligands, solvents, or ions in transmembrane proteins and proteins with buried binding sites is fundamental to the understanding of their biological function. A detailed analysis of the structural features influencing the transport paths is also important for engineering proteins for biomedical and biotechnological applications.

Results: CAVER Analyst 2.

Recent advances in experimental techniques have led to a rapid growth in complexity, size, and number of macromolecular structures that are made available through the Protein Data Bank. This creates a challenge for macromolecular visualization and analysis. Macromolecular structure files, such as PDB or PDBx/mmCIF files can be slow to transfer, parse, and hard to incorporate into third-party software tools.

The biological function of a macromolecule often requires that a small molecule or ion is transported through its structure. The transport pathway often leads through void spaces in the structure. The properties of transport pathways change significantly in time; therefore, the analysis of a trajectory from molecular dynamics rather than of a single static structure is needed for understanding the function of pathways.
