Secondary structure variance on PDBe-KB aggregated views of proteins

The display of protein secondary structure data along a 1D sequence is important for showing structural context for protein sequences. However, this has routinely only shown discrete secondary structure for an individual protein structure, rather than across a population of structures

A new version of the 3D molecular visualisation software, Mol* (molstar.org), is now being used at PDBe and PDBe-KB pages, bringing a host of improvements and new features.

Predicted complexes from ModelArchive now on PDBe-KB pages

Predicted complexes from ModelArchive now on PDBe-KB pages

High-quality, predicted protein complexes, generated using RoseTTAFold and AlphaFold, are now available in ModelArchive and accessible through the 3D-Beacons Network. These predicted complexes are also integrated into the PDBe-KB aggregated views of proteins.

RNA topology viewer added to PDBe pages

RNA topology viewer added to PDBe pages

The PDBe entry pages now have a new, interactive, RNA topology viewer developed in collaboration with the RNAcentral and Rfam teams at EMBL-EBI.

SIFTS data now included in PDBe mmCIF files

SIFTS data now included in PDBe mmCIF files

Data on sequence level mapping through the SIFTS process can now be retrieved directly from updated mmCIF files, available on PDBe entry pages.
