Abstract (AI)
The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB, http://rcsb.org), the US data center for the global PDB archive, makes PDB data freely available to all users, from structural biologists to computational biologists and beyond. New tools and resources have been added to the RCSB PDB web portal in support of a 'Structural View of Biology.' Recent developments have improved the User experience, including the high-speed NGL Viewer that provides 3D molecular visualization in any web browser, improved support for data file download and enhanced organization of website pages for query, reporting and individual structure exploration. Structure validation information is now visible for all archival entries. PDB data have been integrated with external biological resources, including chromosomal position within the human genome; protein modifications; and metabolic pathways. PDB-101 educational materials have been reorganized into a searchable website and expanded to include new features such as the Geis Digital Archive.
Key Findings
1
PDB data integration was expanded to include human chromosomal locations, protein modifications, and metabolic pathways; PDB-101 education resources were also reorganized and expanded.
2
RCSB PDB expanded its web portal to support a comprehensive “Structural View of Biology” for structural and computational biologists.
3
Structure-validation information is now available for all archival PDB entries.
4
The high-speed NGL Viewer enables three-dimensional molecular visualization directly in web browsers.
5
User experience improvements include enhanced data-file downloading and better organization of query, reporting, and individual-structure pages.
