A generic method for assignment of reliability scores applied to solvent accessibility predictions

Bent Petersen, Thomas Nordahl Petersen, Pernille Andersen et al. · 31 Jul 2009

BACKGROUND: Estimation of the reliability of specific real value predictions is nontrivial and the efficacy of this is often questionable. It is important to know if you can trust a given prediction and therefore the best methods associate a prediction with a reliability score or index. For discrete qualitative predictions, the reliability is conventionally estimated…

LIGSITEcsc: predicting ligand binding sites using the Connolly surface and degree of conservation.

Bingding Huang, Michael Schroeder · 1 Jan 2006

BACKGROUND: Identifying pockets on protein surfaces is of great importance for many structure-based drug design applications and protein-ligand docking algorithms. Over the last ten years, many geometric methods for the prediction of ligand-binding sites have been developed. RESULTS: We present LIGSITEcsc, an extension and implementation of the LIGSITE algorithm. LIGSITEcsc is based on the notion…

HOLLOW: Generating Accurate Representations of Channel and Interior Surfaces in Molecular Structures

Bosco Ho, Franz Gruswitz · 1 Jan 2008

BACKGROUND: An accurate rendering of interior surfaces can facilitate the analysis of mechanisms at atomic-level detail, such as the transport of substrates in the ammonia channel. In molecular viewers, one must remove the exterior surface that obscures the channel surface by clipping the viewing plane or manually selecting the channel residues in order to display…

BMC Structural Biology template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Structural Biology format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Structural Biology template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Structural Biology use?
BMC Structural Biology uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Structural Biology. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Structural Biology?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Structural Biology document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Structural Biology template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Structural Biology format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes BMC Structural Biology?
BMC Structural Biology is a life sciences and medicine journal published by BMC (BioMed Central). DocuGuru's BMC Structural Biology template matches BMC (BioMed Central)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Structural Biology PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Structural Biology template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Structural Biology template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Structural Biology template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Structural Biology PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
