Watch Advanced Search: What Is New and How to Use ItThe RCSB PDB Advanced Search allows users to build precise and complex queries. Unlike the Basic Search, which is broad and text-based, Advanced Search offers fine-grained control over which data fields to search, the type of search to perform, and how results are combined.
Watch RCSB PDB's Yana Rose to learn about the redesigned features of Advanced Search.
After the webinar, users will be able to:
- Determine the best search tool or tools to identify structures of interest
- Select an attribute for searching (e.g., Organism, Experimental Method, Resolution) and add conditions to narrow results
- Find structures that contain a similar nucleotide or protein sequence
- Find structures with sequences that share small conserved regions (motifs) that have biological meaning
- Find structures that share a similar 3D shape
- Find structures that contain a similar 3D arrangement of residues with functional significance (catalytic or binding sites)
- Search and explore experimental structures, integrative structures, and Computed Structure Models (CSMs)
The webinar is intended for:
- Bioinformatics and/or structural biology researchers
- Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in biological sciences
- Anyone interested in learning more about RCSB.org
