Alhamdullilah, praise to be upon HIM, The Most Gracious and Merciful Lord. Today, we are fortunate to learn new things that practically can be apply in our daily life. Our new lessons for Computer in Science is related with Protein Data Bank (PDB). Basically, we apply the concept in our learning progress. As a future biotechs, surelt this lessons are hepling us a lot.
First and foremost, we will like to share what is Protein Data Bank (PDB) is all about. According to the page distributor RCSB, PDB is a repository for 3D structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, This data is typically obtained by X-Ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy and submitted by biologists and biochemists from all around the world, which are freely accessible on the Internet via the websites of its member organizations.
From what we have learnt, our group was assigned to download some molecule from Protein Data Bank, HtrA, CLP B, CLP P, Trypsin and Lex A. The graphics is downloaded and edited by using Raswin, a freeware program developed to view and edit PDB files from the Internet.
What
is Raswin
Raswin
is a computer program written for molecular graphics visualization intended
and used primarily for the depiction and exploration of biological
macromolecule structures, such as those found in the Protein Data Bank. It
was originally developed by Roger Sayle in the early 90s.Historically, it was
an important tool for molecular biologists since the extremely optimized
program allowed the software to run on (then) modestly powerful personal
computers. Before RasMol, visualization software ran on graphics workstations
that, due to their expense, were less accessible to scholars. RasMol has become
an important educational tool as well as continuing to be an important tool
for research in structural biology.
Here is our outcomes,
