Does this skill provide access to AlphaFold models?

Yes, it can access computed structure models (CSMs) from AlphaFold and ModelArchive using their respective prefixes within the RCSB ecosystem.

What structural file formats can I download with this skill?

You can download coordinate files in PDB (legacy), mmCIF (modern standard), and BinaryCIF formats, as well as specific biological assemblies.

Is it possible to query metadata like resolution or experimental method?

Absolutely. You can perform attribute searches to filter structures by resolution, experimental method (X-ray, Cryo-EM, etc.), deposition date, and more.

Can I search for proteins using only a fasta sequence?

Yes, the skill supports Sequence Similarity searches where you can define identity thresholds and E-value cutoffs to find matching structures.

How does the skill handle multiple structures at once?

The skill is designed for batch operations, allowing you to iterate through lists of PDB IDs to fetch metadata or download files programmatically.

Ciencia de Datos y ML

Enables seamless programmatic access to the RCSB Protein Data Bank for searching, retrieving, and analyzing 3D molecular structures.

Acerca de

The PDB Database skill empowers Claude to interact directly with the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB), the global repository for 3D structural data of biological macromolecules. It provides comprehensive tools for searching structures by text, sequence, or geometry, and enables the direct download of coordinate files in PDB and mmCIF formats. This skill is essential for bioinformatics workflows, drug discovery research, and protein engineering, allowing users to automate data retrieval, perform batch operations, and integrate structural metadata into computational pipelines with ease.
