Aim: Finding and interpreting structural data using PDBe and integrating it to functional data using PDBe-KB resources
Protein Data Bank in Europe () is a founding member of the Worldwide Protein Data Bank which collects, organises and disseminates data on biological macromolecular structures. In collaboration with the other Worldwide Protein Data Bank () partners, we work to collate, maintain and provide access to the global repository of macromolecular structure models, the Protein Data Bank (PDB). In the first section of this workshop, participants will be introduced to PDBe and taught how to find and interpret structural data using PDBe pages.ÌýÌý
Recently, we started providing aggregated views of available structure data and annotations for individual proteins on PDBe-KB protein pages. PDBe-KB (Protein Data Bank in Europe - Knowledge Base) is a community-driven resource managed by the, collating functional annotations and predictions for structure data in the PDB archive. PDBe-KB is a collaborative effort between PDBe and a diverse group of bioinformatics resources and research teams. PDBe-KB contains data contributed by projects such as SIFTSand FunPDBeand aims to place structures from the PDB in their biological context. The second part of the workshop will then introduce participants to PDBe-KB resources followed by hand-on training on how to retrieve biological information from these pages and answer some of the scientific research problems.Ìý
Lastly, we will introduce participants to PDBe’s REST API. This will enable participants to obtain information from PDBe in a programmatic way. This will be immensely helpful to participants working on a dataset of proteins structures. Ìý
