Why use the RCSB PDB?
This feature provides an easy introduction to the RCSB PDB for all types of users, but especially for teachers and students. It is used in many classrooms to introduce structures to students, and is an integral part of the protein modeling event at the Science Olympiad.
Where can I find more information about RCSB's policies and references?
Visit the RCSB PDB for more information about our Policies and References. PDB-101 helps teachers, students, and the general public explore the 3D world of proteins and nucleic acids.
How many structures are there in the PDB?
As of Tuesday Oct 22 2019 there are 157145 structures. PDB entries have been annotated by various ontologies and hierarchical classification schemes. The PDB Statistics page lists the current holdings in the PDB and various growth statistics and histograms.
What is the best PDB citation?
The inaugural RCSB PDB citation (Berman et al., Nucleic Acids Research 2000) is one of the top-cited scientific publications of all time. A 2017 bibliometric analysis performed by Clarivate Analytics shows PDB motivated high-quality research throughout the world.
What does Rcsb PDB stand for?
Research Collaboratory for Structural BioinformaticsRCSB PDB (Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics PDB) operates the US data center for the global PDB archive, and makes PDB data available at no charge to all data consumers without limitations on usage (Policies).
What is RCSB used for?
RCSB-PDB is one of the important resource powered by the Protein Data Bank archive. It offers information on the 3D forms of proteins, nuclear acids and complex components, helping students to have the whole understanding, from protein synthesis to health and disease, on all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture.
What is the PDB code?
Every structure in the PDB is assigned a 4-character alphanumeric identifier called the PDB identifier or PDB ID (e.g., 2hbs). In some cases, large groups of structures (e.g., a protein bound to a series of different inhibitors/drugs) are submitted to the PDB.
How do you cite PDB RCSB?
RCSB PDB should be referenced with the URL rcsb.org and the following citation: H.M. Berman, J. Westbrook, Z. Feng, G.
What does Rcsb mean?
Regular Cab Short Bed (pickup truck) RCSB.
What are the main data available in Rcsb Protein Data Bank PDB?
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) supports scientific research and education worldwide by providing access to annotated information about three-dimensional (3D) structures of macromolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins), and associated small molecules (e.g., drugs ...
Where can I find PDB code?
Every released entry in the PDB has an automatically-generated page in Proteopedia. To find it, simply enter the PDB code in the search slot found at the left of this (and every) page in Proteopedia. Proteopedia is updated once each week, shortly following the weekly new release cycle at the PDB.
How do I view a PDB file?
How to open a PDB file. You can use Microsoft Visual Studio (Windows) to load information from a PDB file created by that program. This allows you to debug the program the file is associated with. You can also use Microsoft's CVDump program (Windows) to read the information a Visual Studio PDB file contains.
What is a PDB entry?
A typical PDB entry consists of the 3D coordinates of proteins and/or nucleic acids along with bound molecules (e.g. sugars, lipids, inhibitors, metals etc.) and solvent (e.g. water) molecules.
What is PDB 101?
PDB-101 helps teachers, students, and the general public explore the 3D world of proteins and nucleic acids. Learning about their diverse shapes and functions helps to understand all aspects of biomedicine and agriculture, from protein synthesis to health and disease to biological energy.
