Finding and interpreting protein structure and function data using PDBe-KB
Date: 18 October 2023 @ 09:00 - 17:00
Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, responsible for most biological functions. Though we can group related proteins through sequence similarity, it is the 3-dimensional structure of these proteins that determines the functions of these molecules of life. Therefore, knowledge of protein structure, and its relation to additional biological context, can help us create a more complete understanding of how a protein works.
PDBe-KB (https://pdbe-kb.org) is an open, collaborative data resource, which aims to support the access and integration of structural biology data helping users to easily generate biological insights. The Aggregated Views of Proteins, provided through PDBe-KB, provide a unique way to display all the relevant structure and function data for a specific protein, in one place. This allows us to determine trends across these structures, including common binding and interaction sites, and identification of different conformations of the protein.
This webinar will give an introduction to the PDBe-KB Aggregated Views of Proteins and how they can be used to access and interpret structure and function data.
