The Protein Data Bank is a database of proteins and nucleic acids. The site offerers scientists and educators the ability to both upload new information on known sequences and proteins or completely novel entities, and download sequence and other scientific information as well. The database allows for searching based on sequence, function, ligand, and drug targets as well as offering visual representations of the 3D structure of proteins, the pathways they are involved in, mechanism of drug and ligand interaction, and where their sequence lies on human chromosomes.
