Describing protein conformational ensembles: beyond static snapshots

Protein molecules are not static but are in varying degrees of motion. Of course, the breadth of structural arrangements in an ensemble will vary tremendously. Some proteins are like 'rocks' and are very tightly constrained in terms of deviations of their coordinates from their averages. Others are 'writhing snakes', with little recognized persistent structure, and then there is everything in b...

Preface to Special Topic on Protein Dynamics: Beyond Static Snapshots in Structural Biology

As structural biology moves beyond the over dependence on the static snapshots to a deeper understanding of the role of dynamics in the function of the molecules, it has never been more apparent that experiment, theory, and simulation must be all considered together in our discourse. This special issue of Structural Dynamics is devoted to the subject of protein dynamics and comprises articles t...

The Protein Data Bank

The Protein Data Bank [PDB; Berman, Westbrook et al. (2000), Nucleic Acids Res. 28, 235-242; http://www.pdb.org/] is the single worldwide archive of primary structural data of biological macromolecules. Many secondary sources of information are derived from PDB data. It is the starting point for studies in structural bioinformatics. This article describes the goals of the PDB, the systems in pl...

Exploring the Universe of Protein Structures beyond the Protein Data Bank

It is currently believed that the atlas of existing protein structures is faithfully represented in the Protein Data Bank. However, whether this atlas covers the full universe of all possible protein structures is still a highly debated issue. By using a sophisticated numerical approach, we performed an exhaustive exploration of the conformational space of a 60 amino acid polypeptide chain desc...

The Protein Data Bank and structural genomics

The Protein Data Bank (PDB; http://www.pdb.org/) continues to be actively involved in various aspects of the informatics of structural genomics projects--developing and maintaining the Target Registration Database (TargetDB), organizing data dictionaries that will define the specification for the exchange and deposition of data with the structural genomics centers and creating software tools to...
