1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Directed stabilization of globular proteins via substitution of a minimal number of amino acid residues is one of the most complicated experimental tasks. This work summarizes our research on the effect of amino acid substitutions on the protein stability utilizing the outputs of the analysis of intrinsic disorder predisposition of target proteins. This allowed us to formulate the basis of one of the possible approaches to the stabilization of globular proteins. The idea is quite simple. To stabilize a protein as a whole, one needs to find its "weakest spot" and stabilize it, but the question is how this weak spot can be found in a query protein. Our approach is based on the utilization of the computational tools for the per-residue evaluation of intrinsic disorder predisposition to search for the "weakest spot" of a query protein (i.e., the region(s) with the highest local predisposition for intrinsic disorder). When such "weakest spot" is found, it can be stabilized through a limited number of point mutations by introducing order-promoting residues at hot spots, thereby increasing structural stability of a protein as a whole. Using this approach, we were able to obtain stable mutant forms of several globular proteins, such as Gαo, GFP, ribosome protein L1, and circular permutant of apical domain of GroEL.
