Molecular Structure Database
Molecular structure databases are essential tools for researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, and
related fields for understanding the properties and behavior of molecules.

Some popular molecular structure databases include:

➢PubChem

➢Chem-Spider

➢Cambridge Structural Database (CSD)

➢Protein Data Bank (PDB)

➢Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI)

➢Re-axys
Protein Data Bank (PDB)
The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a comprehensive and widely used repository of
three-dimensional structural data for large biological molecules, primarily
proteins and nucleic acids.
It provides a wealth of information about the shapes and conformations of these
molecules, as well as their interactions with other molecules, such as drugs and
ligands.
Protein Data Bank (PDB)
Key features of the Protein Data Bank include:

Repository of Structural Data

Quality Control

Search and Analysis Tools


Protein Data Bank (PDB)
➢Repository of Structural Data: The PDB is the single global repository for
three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules, such as proteins,
nucleic acids, and complex assemblies.
➢Quality Control: This includes checks for stereochemical quality, geometric
parameters, and validation against experimental data.
➢Search and Analysis Tools: The PDB provides users with advanced search and
analysis tools to explore the database efficiently. Users can search for structures
based on various criteria, such as molecule type, resolution, experimental
method, and sequence similarity.
Structural Classification Of Proteins (SCOP)
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) is a hierarchical classification of
protein structural domains.
It aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic organization of protein
structures, allowing researchers to explore relationships between protein
sequences, structures, and functions.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) serves several important
functions in the field of structural biology and bioinformatics:
Structural Classification Of Proteins (SCOP)
Key features of the SCOP include:

Classification and Organization

Identification of Structural Similarities

Understanding Protein Evolution


Structural Classification Of Proteins (SCOP)
Key features of the SCOP include:
➢Classification and Organization: SCOP classifies and organizes protein
structures into a hierarchical framework based on their structural and
evolutionary relationships.
➢Identification of Structural Similarities: SCOP helps identify structural
similarities between proteins that may not be apparent from sequence alone.
➢Understanding Protein Evolution: SCOP aids in the study of protein evolution
by organizing proteins into evolutionary groups based on structural similarities.
CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology,
Homology)
The CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology, Homology) database is a
comprehensive resource for the classification and analysis of protein structures. It
provides a hierarchical classification of protein domains based on their structural
and evolutionary relationships.
CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology,
Homology)
Key features of the CATH include:

Classification of Protein Domains

Topology Identification

Education and Training


CATH (Class, Architecture, Topology,
Homology)
Key features of the CATH include:
➢Classification of Protein Domains: CATH categorizes protein domains into
hierarchical levels based on their structural features, including Class,
Architecture, Topology, and Homologous Superfamily.
➢Topology Identification: The Topology level in CATH describes the spatial
arrangement of secondary structural elements within protein domains.
➢Education and Training: These resources include tutorials, workshops, and
online courses aimed at both beginners and advanced users, helping to improve
understanding and utilization of protein structure classification data.
