3D Macromolecular Structures

Resources

Molecular Modeling Database (mmdb)

Experimentally resolved of proteins, RNA, and DNA, derived from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), with value-added features such as explicit chemical graphs, computationally identified (compact substructures) that are used to identify similar 3D structures, as well as links to literature, , information about chemicals bound to the structures, and more. These connections make it possible, for example, to find 3D structures for homologs of a protein sequence of interest, then interactively view the sequence-structure relationships, active sites, bound chemicals, journal articles, and more.

Related Structures
(CBLAST)

A tool that compares a against all protein sequences from experimentally resolved 3D structures, by using protein BLAST against the PDB data set. The purpose is to , as available. This has been done for each sequence record in the Entrez Protein database and the pre-computed search results are available as "Related Structures" links in the "" menu of in the right margin of protein sequence record displays (illustrated example). You can also input a protein query sequence directly (in the form of a ) into the Related Structures search page in order to find sequence-similar 3D structure records. The search results can be viewed in Cn3D, which displays an (illustrated example) and allows you to interactively examine the sequence-structure relationship. Because the Related Structures service uses BLAST to find related structures, and Cn3D to display them, it is

Cn3D

A tool for visualization of three-dimensional structures with emphasis on interactive examination of sequence-structure relationships and superposition of geometrically similar structures. Can be used to display mmdb structures, superpositions of VAST similar structures, and conserved core motifs identified in conserved domains.

Vector Alignment Search Tool (VAST)

A computer algorithm developed at NCBI and used to identify similar protein 3-dimensional structures by purely geometric criteria, and to identify distant homologs that cannot be recognized by sequence comparison. "Similar structures" for every structure in MMDB are pre-computed using VAST and accessible via links on the MMDB Structure Summary pages. The VAST Search web service also allows you to compare the coordinates of a newly resolved structure in PDB file format against all structures in mmdb to find its neiors.

Vector Alignment Search Tool Plus (VAST+)

A tool designed to identify macromolecules that have similar 3-dimensional structures, with an emphasis on finding those with similar biological assemblies ("" or "biounits"). The similarities are calculated using purely geometric criteria, and therefore can identify distant homologs that cannot be recognized by sequence comparison. VAST+ is built upon the original Vector Alignment Search Tool (VAST), and expands the capabilities of that program by making it possible to now find macromolecular structures that have similarly shaped biological units, not just those that share similarly shaped individual protein molecules or fragments.

How to use the macromolecular structures resources: examples

Retrieve structures for a gene/protein product of interest

Align a query protein to a similar sequence from a 3D structure and interactively view sequence/structure relationships

Retrieve 3D structures bound to a specific chemical (e.g., aspirin)

Interactively view a 3D structure and its corresponding sequence data to examine sequence-structure relationship

Find protein structures that are similar in 3D shape to a structure of interest, regardless of degree of sequence similarity

Compare a newly resolved 3D structure in PDB format against the 3D coordinates of known structures already in the public domain
