Coming soon: Annotation of Protein Modifications in the PDB

The standardization of protein modification handling ensures that there is a single correct approach to handling each protein modification that occurs within the PDB archive.

CASP (Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction) is in search for targets.

CASP16 Call for Targets

CASP (Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction) experiments are held every two years.
