What is RCSB PDB?
RCSB PDB is a full database that provides access to curated protein structure data. It serves a wide range of users, from students to specialized scientists, who require detailed information and tools for scientific research in fields like biology and chemistry. The platform is a member of the Worldwide PDB partnership. Researchers use RCSB PDB to perform simple and advanced searches based on sequence, structure, and function annotations. They can visualize molecules, download coordinates, experimental data, sequences, and ligands. The platform also offers tools for sequence similarity searches, 3D motif searches, and pairwise structure alignment for in-depth analysis.
