Powering a New Era in Structural Biology

11/04 

RCSB.org now offers expanded access to integrative structures. Users can access and explore these complex macromolecular assemblies modeled using integrative methods together with other experimental structures and Computed Structure Models using their favorite RCSB PDB tools.

Examples of macromolecular complexes modeled using integrative approaches include the nuclear pore complex, BBSome, and the nucleotide excision repair complex.

The impact of integrative modeling data and RCSB PDB services was recently highlighted by a Rutgers Today feature.

These RCSB.org services build upon wwPDB efforts to support deposition and biocuration of data submitted through PDB-IHM (via OneDep) and archiving these structures alongside experimental structures in the PDB archive (announcement).

This image of the nuclear pore complex, a macromolecule in every human cell, focuses on some of its peripheral regions that are functionally important.

Brinda Vallat, Rutgers associate research professor at the Institute for Quantitative Biomedicine and scientific software developer for the RCSB PDB, is leading an effort to make a new approach accessible to scientists worldwide.
