MMDB -- Entrez's 3D-structure database
What you can do:
Find the 3D structure of a protein from MMDB.
Highlights:
- It provides graphical summaries of the biological annotation available for each 3D structure, based on the results of automated comparative analysis.
- Entrez's search engine offers several tools to assist biologist users: (i) links between databases, such as between protein sequences and structures, (ii) pre-computed sequence and structure neighbors, (iii) visualization of structure and sequence/structure alignment.
- For all proteins in Entrez, similar sequences with known 3D structure are detected by BLAST and alignments are recorded. The 'Related Structure' service summarizes this information and presents 3D views mapping sequence residues onto all 3D structures available in MMDB.
