http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/glyvicinity/
Service to generate statistics about the amino acids present in the vicinity of carbohydrate residues. Besides the amino acids in sequential neighborhood of glycosylation sites (analysed by GlySeq), those in the spatial vicinity of carbohydrate residues determine the characteristics of glycoproteins. The latter ones are of special interest for the examination of carbohydrate-binding proteins. Since carbohydrate moieties are not covalently bound in these cases, sequence analysis comparable to that for glycosylation sites is not possible there. GlyVicinity performs statistical analyses on the types of amino acids around carbohydrate chains and on the atoms forming the closest contacts between protein and carbohydrate residues. Results are based on weekly updated datasets derived from the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

Experimental datasets of crystal structures and binding affinities for diverse protein-ligand complexes. Some datasets are generated in house while others are collected from the literature or deposited by academic labs, national centers, and the pharmaceutical industry. For the community to improve their approaches, they need exceptional datasets to train scoring functions and develop new docking algorithms. They aim to provide the highest quality data for a diverse collection of proteins and small molecule ligands. They need input from the community in developing target priorities. Ideal targets will have many high-quality crystal structures (apo and 10-20 bound to diverse ligands) and affinity data for 25 compounds that range in size, scaffold, and logP. It is best if the ligand set has several congeneric series that span a broad range of affinity, with low nanomolar to mid-micromolar being most desirable. They prefer Kd data over Ki data over IC50 data (no % activity data). They will determine solubility, pKa, logP/logD data for the ligands whenever possible. They have augmented some donated IC50 data by determining Kon/Koff and ITC data.

Original NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) data as collected for over 2500 protein and nucleic acid structures with corresponding PDB entries. In addition to the original restraints, most of the distance, dihedral angle and RDC restraint data (>85%) were parsed, and those in over 500 entries were converted and filtered. The converted and filtered data sets constitute the Database Of Converted Restraints (DOCR) and the Filtered Restraints Database (FRED) respectively as described in the references. There are 9,672,968 parsed constraints in 7159 entries. (Mar. 2013)

The European resource for the collection, organization and dissemination of data on biological macromolecular structures. In collaboration with the other worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) partners - the Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics (RCSB) and BioMagResBank (BMRB) in the USA and the Protein Data Bank of Japan (PDBj) - they work to collate, maintain and provide access to the global repository of macromolecular structure data. The main objectives of the work at PDBe are: * to provide an integrated resource of high-quality macromolecular structures and related data and make it available to the biomedical community via intuitive user interfaces. * to maintain in-house expertise in all the major structure-determination techniques (X-ray, NMR and EM) in order to stay abreast of technical and methodological developments in these fields, and to work with the community on issues of mutual interest (such as data representation, harvesting, formats and standards, or validation of structural data). * to provide high-quality deposition and annotation facilities for structural data as one of the wwPDB deposition sites. Several sophisticated tools are also available for the structural analysis of macromolecules.

HOLLOW facilitates the production of surface images of proteins. HOLLOW is a portable command-line utility written in Python 2.4-2.7; it does not have any other dependencies (although running under the PyPy JIT interpreter, it runs much faster). The input is a PDB file. The output is a PDB file of dummy water atoms that forms a cast of the voids and channels of a protein. HOLLOW generates a surface from a cast of the protein surface. HOLLOW fills the interior spaces of a protein structure with dummy atoms defined on an overlapping grid. The surface generated by these dummy atoms can be shown to reproduce the surface of the protein at the ideal limit. The use of the surface of the dummy atoms allows us to focus on a specific piece of the interior surface. Simply by deleting dummy atoms, the interior surface can be trimmed to produce a custom portion of the interior space. For advanced coloring of the surface, the B-factor of the dummy atoms can be calculated as the average of the B-factor of the protein atoms surrounding the dummy atoms. This allows various colorings of the surface to be conveyed through the B-factor field of the PDB files. The volume filling representation facilitated by HOLLOW is meant to complement other programs that identify voids, pockets and channels, such as SPHGEN and CASTp, which identify binding sites but cannot produce output that can be rendered in standard molecular graphics software. HOLLOW can be used to help render these binding pockets.
