journey to PDB

">Assalamualaikum....
Today, we have learned two chapters. One of them is Protein Data Bank (PDB).
PDB is defined as a repository for 3-D biological macromolecular structure. It is founded in 1971 by Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.

PDB first set of data were entered on punched cards. In 1998, it has been transferred to the research Collaborators for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB).Currently, it holds 29 000 released structures.

Besides that, PDB is an important resource for research in the academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors.
Will the molecule turns into a cancer cell?
Can these combinations of molecules cure common cold?
How does radiation effect the RNA and DNA?
These are types of application that can being solved when we use PDB.

 

The structure table above shows the things that can be defined by PDB.

No.	Type of proteins
1	Htra
2	subtilisin
3	collagenes
4	aminopeptidase
5	carboxypeptidae

The most interesting part when we learned PDB is this software can shows to us the image of the protein in different and attractive ways.This is the first time we explore such a beautiful protein structure.
Here,we serves to you some examples of the protein structures.

 carboxypeptidase

 aminopeptidase

 collageness

subtilisin

htra

See!!!How wonderful these structures right??

We had use this link protein data bank(PDB)  in order to download this all the structures.
Hope u will enjoyed  this topics same like us....;)
