Knowing the position of protein structures within the membrane is crucial for fundamental and applied research in the field of molecular biology. Only few web resources propose coordinate files of oriented transmembrane proteins, and these exclude predicted structures, although they represent the largest part of the available models. In this article, we present TMPL (http://www.dsimb.inserm.fr/TMPL/), a database of transmembrane protein structures (α-helical and β-sheet) positioned in the lipid bilayer. It is the first database to include theoretical models of transmembrane protein structures, making it a large repository with more than 11 000 entries. The TMPL database also contains experimentally solved protein structures, which are available as either atomistic or coarse-grained models. A unique feature of TMPL is the possibility for users to update the database by uploading, through an intuitive web interface, the membrane assignments they can obtain with our recent OREMPRO web server.

This perpective delves into the emerging field of matere bonds, a novel type of noncovalent interaction involving group 7 elements such as manganese, technetium, and rhenium. Matere bonds, a new member of the σ-hole family where metal atoms act as electron acceptors, have been shown experimentally and theoretically to play significant roles in the self-assembly and stabilization of supramolecular structures both in solid-state and solution-phase environments. This perspective article explores the physical nature of these interactions, emphasizing their directionality and structural influence in various supramolecular architectures.

The controlled binding of proteins on nanoparticle surfaces remains a grand challenge required for many applications ranging from biomedical to energy storage. The difficulty in achieving this ability arises from the different functional groups of the biomolecule that can adsorb on the nanoparticle surface. While most proteins can only adopt a single structure, metamorphic proteins can access at least two different conformations, which presents intriguing opportunities to exploit such structural variations for binding to nanoparticles.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is the second most common obstetric complication after preterm labor. Appropriate trophoblast differentiation and placental structure, growth and function are key for the maintenance of pregnancy and normal fetal growth, development and survival. Extravillous trophoblast cell proliferation, migration and invasion are regulated by molecules produced by the fetomaternal interface, including autocrine factors produced by the trophoblast, such as insulin‑like growth factor (IGF)‑1.
