PROTEIN DATA BANK

     The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for the 3-D structural data of large biological molecules, such as protein, nucleic acids and viruses. All data are available to the public.It can be obtained by X-Ray crystallography (80%) or NMR spectroscopy (16%). It is submitted by biologists and biochemists from all around the world.

     PDB is an important resource for research in the

academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology

sectors.

Information required includes:-

   – Coordinates of all the atoms

   – Chemical description of the various molecules

       in the crystal

   – Experimental information about the structure

   – Structural description of the biological molecule

First, if you want to make 3-D structure for protein, you must go to Protein Data Bank and type the name of protein that you want in the box provided and click the arrow pointed in the picture below.

Then, after you get the structure that you want, download it. 

To view and edit the structure, you must download RasMol.

Happy editing your picture!!! ^_^ 

This is our 1st attempt in editing protein stuctures with RasMol

Enjoy The Picture~~~
