    Abstract Experimental techniques in omics sciences need strong support of bioinformatics tools for the data management, analysis and interpretation. Scientific community develops continuously new databases and tools. They make it possible the comparison of new experimental data with the existing ones, to gain new knowledge. Bioinformatics assists proteomics scientists for protein identification from experimental data, management of the huge data produced, investigation of molecular mechanisms of protein functions, their roles in biochemical pathways, and functional interpretation of biological processes. This article introduces the main bioinformatics resources for investigation in the protein world, with references to analyses performed by means of free tools available on the net.

    Abstract Natural products and plant extracts exhibit many biological activities, including that related to the defense mechanisms against parasites. Many studies have investigated the biological functions of secondary metabolites and reported evidence of antiviral activities. The pandemic emergencies have further increased the interest in finding antiviral agents, and efforts are oriented to investigate possible activities of secondary plant metabolites against human viruses and their potential application in treating or preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review, we performed a comprehensive analysis of studies through in silico and in vitro investigations, also including in vivo applications and clinical trials, to evaluate the state of knowledge on the antiviral activities of secondary metabolites against human viruses and their potential application in treating or preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection, with a particular focus on natural compounds present in food plants. Although some of the food plant secondary metabolites seem to be useful in the prevention and as a possible therapeutic management against SARS-CoV-2, up to now, no molecules can be used as a potential treatment for COVID-19; however, more research is needed.

    Abstract Lipoxygenases make several biological functions in cells, based on the products of the catalyzed reactions. In diatoms, microalgae ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, lipoxygenases have been noted for the oxygenation of fatty acids with the production of oxylipins, which are involved in many physiological and pathological processes in marine organisms. The interest in diatoms' lipoxygenases and oxylipins has increased due to their possible biotechnological applications, ranging from ecology to medicine. We investigated using bioinformatics and molecular docking tools the lipoxygenases of diatoms and the possible interaction with substrates. A large-scale analysis of sequence resources allowed us to retrieve 45 sequences of lipoxygenases from diatoms. We compared and analyzed the sequences by multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees, suggesting the possible clustering in phylogenetic groups. Then, we modelled the 3D structure of representative enzymes from the different groups and investigated in detail the structural and functional properties by docking simulations with possible substrates. The results allowed us to propose a classification of the lipoxygenases from diatoms based on their sequence features, which may be reflected in specific structural differences and possible substrate specificity.

    Abstract Investigating large datasets of biological information by automatic procedures may offer chances of progress in knowledge. Recently, tremendous improvements in structural biology have allowed the number of structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive to increase rapidly, in particular those for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated proteins. However, their automatic analysis can be hampered by the nonuniform descriptors used by authors in some records of the PDB and PDBx/mmCIF files. In this opinion article we highlight the difficulties encountered in automating the analysis of hundreds of structures, suggesting that further standardization of the description of these molecular entities and of their attributes, generalized to the macromolecular structures contained in the PDB, might generate files more suitable for automatized analyses of a large number of structures.

    Abstract Background: The use of NGS technology has rapidly increased during the last decade, and many new monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders have emerged. Pathogenic variants in the neuronal CAMK2A gene have been recently associated with “intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal dominant 53″ (OMIM#617798), a syndrome characterized by variable clinical manifestations including mild to severe intellectual disability, delayed psychomotor development, delayed or absent speech, delayed walking, seizures, dysmorphic features and behavioral psychiatric manifestations as autism spectrum disorders, aggressive behavior, and hyperactivity. CAMK2A (OMIM*114078) encodes for a subunit of the calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase II (CaMKII), which is predominately expressed in the brain, where it plays critical roles in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory as well as in neuronal migration. Methods and Results: We hereby describe a thirty-five-year-old woman affected by severe intellectual disability with epileptic encephalopathy. We performed exome sequencing and found a de novo heterozygous variant in the CAMK2A gene (NM_171825.2: c.874_876delCTT; p.Lys292del), which was fully correlated with her phenotype. This is the first report of an inframe single amino acid deletion in a patient affected by intellectual developmental disorder autosomal dominant 53. The variant is predicted to affect protein structure and function and interaction with other proteins and hits a crucial functional site. Discussion: We discuss our variant in relation to previously reported variants and with the objective of delineating possible genotype–phenotype correlations.
