PROTEIN DATA BANK (PDB) AND RASMOL

Hi everyone...it's me again.!!
uppss sorry..>.<
Assalamualaikum..^.^
How was ur day? extremely good..Not so bad..or teribble?
Huh whatever it is life must go on. The problems that you face will make you appreciate about life..

Let go of all the stresses and devastations.
Let go of all the insults and underestimations.
Let go of all your enemies.
Let go of those who are insignificant and contributing unenthusiastically in your life.
Let go of those who edify your criminal deeds.

Let go and move on...keep smiling,and remember LIFE GOES ON

Aha..!!
Wednesday is back and you know what..!! my COMPUTER IN SCIENCE class..!!!  I'd really love this class and the most awaited time by all students because we will play around with computer (the important technology nowadays)..yeah..

New lesson for today that I would like to share with all of you around the globe is PDB. A useful knowledge for sciences students especially whoever persue their study in BOITECHNOLOGY (like me). 

Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for 3-D biological macromolecular structure includes proteins, nucleic acids and viruses which obtained by X-Ray crystallography (80%) or NMR spectroscopy (16%)that is submitted by biologists and biochemists from around the world. First set of data were entered on punched cards. Later on it use magnetic tapes.

It is  founded in 1971 by Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York and then transferred to the Research Collaborators for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) in 1998. Currently it holds 29,000 released structures. All data are available to the public.

PDB is an important resource for research in the academic, pharmaceutical, and  biotechnology sectors. For examples :-
  • Will this molecule turns into a cancer cell?
  • Can this combination of molecules cure common cold?
  • How does radiation affect the RNA and DNA?

 This is howw it will look like..


PDB is consist of :-
  • PDB data (Information required)
  • Data deposition and validation 
  • Software tools ((Help scientists deposit their results quicker and validate their results)
  • Data query
  • PDB Beta
  • 3D interaction 

PDB is used together with RASMOL..(what is that)



RASMOL is a sophisticated, yet user-friendly, interactive molecular graphics program intended for viewing molecules. proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. The program reads in the 3-D coordinates for a molecule using the pdb file format and aimed at display, teaching and generation of publication quality images.  

It reads in molecule coordinate file and interactively displays the molecule on the screen in a variety of colour schemes and molecule representations. Currently available representations include depth-cued wireframes, `Dreiding` sticks, spacefilling (CPK) spheres, ball and stick, solid and strand biomolecular ribbons, atom labels and dot surfaces. It displays the molecule in various representations and allows one to rotate the molecule interactively, translated, zoomed and z-clipped (slabbed) interactively using either the mouse, the scroll bars, the command line or an attached dial box.. RasMol-ucb allows simultaneous viewing of multiple molecules. Different parts of the molecule may be represented and coloured independently of the rest of the molecule or displayed in several representations simultaneously.  Alternate conformers and multiple NMR models may be specially coloured and identified in atom labelsAtoms may also be labelled with arbitrary text strings. 

Supported input file formats include Protein Data Bank (PDB), Tripos Associates` Alchemy and Sybyl Mol2 formats, Molecular Design Limited`s (MDL) Mol file format, Minnesota Supercomputer Center`s (MSC) XYZ (XMol) format, CHARMm format, CIF format and mmCIF format files. 

The program is provided as freeware, available for internet downloading, by Roger Sayle at the BioMolecular Structures Group of Glaxo Research & Development (UK). When the program is compiled for use by Microsoft Windows users, it is called RASWIN.   

Here are few example of protein display using RASWIN.
