Data parsing - BLUE STAR STING: Links


Introduction


Introduction:

We would like here to emphasize a very important feature of SMS: Linking to data from the other BioInformatics sources. We have compiled extensive list of links so that information (provided by other groups) about a very same PDB file, can be easily accessed.
Our intention is to continue on providing our own tools and data through SMS updates, however, we recognize the users need to have most complete and comprehensive set of information for the given structure; for that reason, we will continue updating the list of LINKS. Basically, Links bring complementary information within only one click from the SMS unique structure descriptors. Make the best use of those LINKS!
PDB Metrics   Secondary Structure
Structure Information   Enzyme Information
Structure Classification   Sequence neighbours
Sequence/Structure Genomics   Surface/Structure
Cavity Report   Surface Validation
Domains based on Structure   Users Input Required
Contacts   Publications - DNA - PROTseq
Others    

It is important to note that all of the links are automatically bringing the information about very same PDB file being analyzed by SMS. There are, however, 5 links that require users input in order to get to pertinent information hidden in the remote data base. We are working to make those links also completely automatic.

We will show here a few tricks on how to use specific automated links and get to the other ones, incrementing the volume of information on subject studied. We will also show here how to use automatic links and data presented in indicated remote Data bases, in order to get necessary input strings for the LINKS that require your intervention.

Before all this, let us introduce our own PDB Metrics. It brings no further information on a given structure, but summary information on the Protein Data Bank itself.



The Protein Database Metrics or PDB-Metrics is the new implementation of a discontinued STING module called PDB_Mining. PDB Metrics provides a summary of the protein structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It offers a vast collection of descriptors and means to recover specific PDB files. PDB-Metrics is a powerful tool for the bioinformatics researcher to analyze the PDB's collection of protein structure descriptions from a variety of perspectives, and recover specific files using a repertoire of alternate criteria.
