Full size image Structure and function: HPV form and flexibility Looking at the dozens of structures available for papillomavirus capsids and individual proteins, we see many of the general themes that underlie biomolecular structure and function. For example, mechanisms of hierarchical assembly and sel...
The US-funded Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) and other members of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partnership jointly manage the PDB archive and support >60 000 ‘data depositors’ (structural biologists) around the world. wwPDB ensures...
Free availability of rigorously validated and expertly biocurated 3D structures from the PDB archive has enabled progress in the fields of structural biology and structural bioinformatics (reviewed in Burley and Berman, 2021) in myriad ways, including development of new structure-determination methods, ...
Number of Chains: The number of distinct chains in the protein. Secondary Structure Composition: Number of helices, sheets, and coils. These newly added features enrich the dataset's potential for structural bioinformatics applications. For a full breakdown of the extraction process, refer to thePre...
