Gonzalo Parra , Vincent Zoete , arne.elofsson at gmail.com , Bohdan Schneider Dear 3D-BioInfo Community Thanks to those of you who attended our conference in Barcelona this March. It was a great meeting with nearly 120 participants and very exciting talks. At the conference we held an ELIXIR panel session when we discussed a possible application for funding for an ELIXIR Implementation Study by the 3D-BioInfo community. The ELIXIR call for these studies is now live and 3D-BioInfo will be applying. As mentioned in the Barcelona session, our study will be based on a series of workshops to increase the interaction of groups developing protein annotations (e.g. prediction of protein structural characteristics like functional sites, disorder, PTs, etc) with the PDBe knowledge base (PDBeKB). The workshops will train researchers in building NextFlow workflows and APIs to export their predicted data to the PDBe-KB where their annotations will be widely disseminated via a web portal that integrates multiple annotations for protein structures. More details are given in the links below. If you are interested in participating in this study and attending one or more of the workshops, which will be held at the EBI in Hinxton, UK, please check the links below and add your name. The links include the planned application for funding, to which you can add comments, together with background information.

The center combines frontline technical expertise with advanced knowledge of translational medicine and molecular bioscience. SciLifeLab is a national resource hosted by Karolinska Institutet, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University and Uppsala University. The center also collaborates with several other universities. The employment will be placed at the Department of biochemistry and biophysics, at Stockholm university. More information about us, please visit: the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics . Project description Your studies in Bioinformatics will be in the project: "Using Deep Learning to Understand Protein Structure Evolution”. We have studied domain evolution and observed that structural change is roughly linear with sequence change. However, larger structural changes might also occur within a domain during evolution, particularly within transporters3. Further, domains can be combined to create multi-domain proteins. Most domain architectures arise from adding or removing a single domain at the N- or C-terminal regions, while certain repeat-domain families undergo more internal duplications. We also demonstrated that eukaryotic proteins harbour substantially more disordered and linker regions, which expand more rapidly than globular domains. Most phylogenetic studies of proteins, including ours, have primarily focused on changes in the amino-acid sequences. Today, accurate structural models from AlphaFold make it possible to integrate structure into large-scale phylogenetic and sequence analyses. Therefore, in this application, we propose revisiting earlier studies, scaling them up, and adding structural information to the analysis. This study will provide a detailed structural understanding of changes within domains, how novel protein architectures emerge, and why certain domains and architectures continue expanding and diversifying in specific lineages. We believe this study will provide fundamental insights into protein structure evolution and how evolutionary mechanisms and selective pressures have shaped proteins. Together, the three aims of this project will reveal how domain changes their structure and how rearrangements shape structural protein diversity across the tree of life. The Elofsson group is located at the Science for Life Laboratory. Elofsson has worked on protein structure predictions and evolution for over two decades. He has worked on various techniques using machine learning and other computational techniques. Our most important contributions to this work are the methods he has developed to identify the quality of protein models, Pcons, and various versions of ProQ. The group comprises 5 PhD students, one postdoc, and one senior researcher. Qualification requirements In order to be admitted to postgraduate education, the applicant must have the general and specific entry requirements. The qualification requirements must be met by the deadline for applications. You meet *general entry requirements* if you have completed a second-cycle degree, or completed courses equivalent to at least 240 higher education credits, of which 60 credits must be in the second cycle, or have otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge in Sweden or elsewhere. In order to meet *the specific entry requirements*, for acceptance in the Biochemistry, especially Bioinformatics, program the applicant must have passed courses within the first and second cycles of at least 90 credits in either, a) Chemistry/Molecular Biology/Biotechnology, or b) Computer Science/Mathematics/Physics and at the second cycle level, 60 credits in Life Science, Computer Science Mathematics, Physics or Bioinformatics including a 30 credit Degree Project (thesis). Selection The selection amongst the eligible candidates will be based on their capacity to successfully complete the program. Important criteria when assessing this capacity are; documented knowledge and skill in the field of the thesis project, written and oral proficiency in English, the capacity for analytical thinking, the ability to collaborate, as well as creativity, initiative, and independence. The assessment will be based on previous experience and grades, the quality of the degree project, references, relevant experience, interviews and the candidate’s written motivation for seeking the position.
