What data formats does the PDB Database skill support?

The skill supports downloading and processing coordinates in PDB, mmCIF, and BinaryCIF formats, as well as retrieving metadata via JSON and GraphQL.

Can I search for structures using a protein sequence?

Yes, the skill includes built-in capabilities to perform sequence similarity searches with customizable identity and e-value cutoffs to find homologous structures.

Is this skill compatible with AlphaFold models?

Yes, it can access computed models available through the RCSB PDB, including entries with AF_ (AlphaFold) and MA_ (ModelArchive) prefixes.

How do I install the necessary dependencies for this skill?

You should install the official client using 'uv pip install rcsb-api' to enable all search and data retrieval features within your Claude environment.

数据科学与机器学习

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

The PDB Database skill enables Claude to interact seamlessly with the RCSB Protein Data Bank, the global repository for 3D structural data of proteins and nucleic acids. It allows researchers and developers to perform complex searches by text, sequence similarity, or structural geometry, retrieve detailed metadata via GraphQL, and download coordinate files in PDB or mmCIF formats. This skill is essential for bioinformatics workflows, drug target identification, and protein engineering projects that require programmatic access to experimental and computational structural models.
