RCSB Protein Data Bank Home Page
RCSB Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB) enables scientific breakthroughs via TOOLS for searching, visualization, and analysis of 3D structural DATA.
RCSB PDB is a member of the Worldwide PDB partnership.
Tools
All Tools
3D Similarity Search
Find structures that share a similar 3D shape using AI/ML-generated vector embeddings
Browse Annotations
Find PDB structures using annotations from various ontologies and hierarchical classification schemes, e.g. Disease Ontology, Molecular Function
Pairwise Structure Alignment
Calculate pairwise structure alignments using various methods
Sequence Motif Search
Find structures with sequences that share small conserved regions (motifs) that have biological meaning
Chemical Similarity
Search for small molecules using SMILES, InChI, or chemical formula
Genome View
Explore the correspondences between PDB entity sequences, genes, and genomes
Sequence Similarity Search
Find structures that contain a similar nucleotide or protein sequence using the MMseqs2 method
Structure Attributes Search
Use structural properties that have text or numerical values to build complex queries with 'AND/OR' logic
Sequence Annotations Viewer
Graphical summaries of protein features and their relationships with UniProtKB entries
3D Motif Search
Find structures that contain a similar 3D arrangement of residues with functional significance (catalytic or binding sites)
Sequence Annotations in 3D
Map protein sequence features onto the 3D structure of protein assemblies
