PROTEIN DATA BANK (PCB)
Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a database that allow users to view three dimensional structure of a certain biological molecule in a drug. The images are usually obtained from X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy submitted by the biologist or chemist from around the world. This database is accessible with internet for anyone . For example, if a user type any drug name, the results will appear in a molecule structure together with full description such as molecular weight, classification and others in the summary session. This database also will provide information like 3D view, sequence, annotation and few others.
This an example when a user type paracetamol in the search engine at the website. There are 3 results that related to the topic searched.
When viewing one of the results, the summary will appear just like the picture below.
When viewing the 3D image, the protein structure will appear.
