Can I search for structures by protein sequence?

Yes, the skill supports Sequence Similarity searches using the RCSB Search API, allowing you to find homologous structures with customizable identity and E-value cutoffs.

Does this skill support AlphaFold models?

Yes, it provides access to the RCSB PDB repository which includes both experimentally determined structures and computed models such as those from AlphaFold and ModelArchive.

What data formats can I download with this skill?

You can download structural coordinates in PDB, mmCIF (PDBx), and BinaryCIF formats, as well as biological assemblies and experimental metadata.

Do I need an API key to use the PDB Database skill?

No, the RCSB PDB APIs are public and do not require an API key for standard usage, making it easy to integrate into your Claude Code workflows.

Can I perform complex multi-criteria searches?

Absolutely. You can use logical operators (AND/OR) to combine text, attribute, sequence, and structural similarity queries to find very specific biological entries.

Ciencia de Datos y ML

Accesses and manages 3D biological macromolecular structures from the RCSB Protein Data Bank for structural biology and drug discovery.

Acerca de

This skill provides a programmatic interface to the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB), the global repository for 3D structural data of proteins and nucleic acids. It enables researchers and developers to search for structures using text, sequence, or structural similarity, retrieve detailed metadata via GraphQL, and download coordinate files in various formats like PDB and mmCIF. Ideal for structural biology, drug discovery, and protein engineering, it streamlines the integration of experimental and computed structural models into automated computational workflows.
