What is PDB actually?
Actually it stands for Protein Data Bank. It is a repository
for 3-D biological macromolecular structure and these data are available for
public usage. This data bank includes proteins, nucleic acids and viruses. The
data was submitted by biologist and biochemist from around the world.
There
are some software tools to reduce the amount of manual labour and helps to
deposit the scientist results quicker.
| Software tools | Function |
| pdb_extract | Extract information from the output of standard crystallographic programs |
| AutoDep Input Tool (ADIT) | Used for assembling, editing, validating and deposition structural data |
| PDB Validation Suite | Creates reports based upon the validation results |
Today, we observed the website of PDB and look at the
structure of some of the protein there.
