Background: Dehydrogenase enzymes belong to the oxidoreductase class and utilise the coenzymes NAD and NADP. Stereo-selectivity is focused on the C4 hydrogen atoms of the nicotinamide ring of NAD(P). Depending upon which hydrogen is transferred at the C4 location, the enzyme is designated as A or B stereospecific.
Description: The Dehydrogenase Stereospecificity Database v1.0 (DSD) provides a compilation of enzyme stereochemical data, as sourced from the primary literature, in the form of a web-accessible database. There are two search engines, a menu driven search and a BLAST search. The entries are also linked to several external databases, including the NCBI and the Protein Data Bank, providing wide background information. The database is freely available online at: http://www.jenner.ac.uk/DSD/.
Conclusion: DSD is a unique compilation available on-line for the first time which provides a key resource for the comparative analysis of reductase hydrogen transfer stereospecificity. As databases increasingly form the backbone of science, largely complete databases such as DSD, are a vital addition.

Determining the taxonomic composition (taxonomic profiling) is a fundamental task in studying environmental and host-associated microbial communities. However, genome-resolved microbial diversity on Earth remains undersampled, and accessing the genomic context of taxa detected during taxonomic profiling remains a challenging task. Here, we present the mOTUs online database (mOTUs-db), which is consistent with and interfaces with the mOTUs taxonomic profiling tool.

Article Synopsis
- Effective diagnosis of rare genetic disorders involves interpreting genetic variants of unknown significance (VUSs), and VUStruct enhances existing methods by analyzing these variants within the context of 3D protein structures.
- VUStruct, a web-based analysis pipeline, utilizes advanced computational techniques and artificial intelligence to assess protein stability, predict pathogenicity, and identify potential gene interactions in complex diseases.
- The tool has been successfully applied in over 175 Undiagnosed Disease Network patient cases, providing valuable insights for clinicians and guiding academic research collaborations.

We imagine molecules to be perfect, but rigidified units can be designed to bend from their ideal shape, discarding their symmetric elements as they progress through vibrations and larger, more permanent distortions. The shape of molecules is either simulated or measured by crystallography and strongly affects chemical properties but, beyond an image or tabulation of atom-to-atom distances, little is often discussed of the accessed conformation. We have simplified the process of shape quantification across multiple molecular types with a new web-accessible program - SCSD - through which a molecular subunit possessing near-symmetry can be dissected into symmetry coordinates with ease.
