Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..


I'm just finishing up my class in

 Computer of Science,

 and I was surprised when

 I recently got a task about PDB. 

However, it was 

quite interesting learning

 this challenging subject because

 I learnt new thing

 how to create a very  unique picture

 of Protein Data Bank.

Have you ever seen this picture??
It is about the image of Protein Data Bank.
Let us see what contains behind it!=)

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a repository for the 3-D structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. (See also crystallographic database). The data, typically obtained by X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy and submitted by biologists and biochemists from around the world, are freely accessible on the internet. The PDB is overseen by an organization called the Worldwide Protein Data Bank, wwPDB.

The PDB is a key resource in areas of structural biology, such as structural genomics. Most major scientific journals, and some funding agencies, such as the NIH in the USA, now require scientists to submit their structure data to the PDB. If the contents of the PDB are thought of as primary data, then there are hundreds of derived (i.e., secondary) databases that categorize the data differently. For example, both SCOP and CATH categorize structures according to type of structure and assumed evolutionary relations; GO categorize structures based on genes.^[1]

 That's all about PDB that I can share with you all.
