Extract protein complex structures from pdb database
1 answer
Hi,
Let say for this one: http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/explore.do?structureId=3PTA
Is it means that the protein of DNMT1 is bound to DNA molecule? And is the polymer number there (3) is indicating how many structures are there? So, in this case, the number of polymer is stated as 3, meaning that one is protein, and another 2 are for DNA? Is it the correct way of saying the PDB entry?

Do you have the list of PDB ID's that this protein is in, or is that what you are trying to find? PDB files of complexes will show the other protein(s) as separate chains, so you would just need to extract the coordinates for the other chain(s) in the PDB file.
I am trying to find the pdb ids.
Take your protein sequence and use BLAST to align it to all sequences in the PDB. The database option of BLAST will give you the PDB database option. If there are any this should pull them up for you.
If you have id of your protein like uniprot id then you can submit it into PDB search box and you will get all structures (bound or unbound) related to your protein. Then download those structures from PDB and open file to look how many molecules present in each pdb file and any of them is related to protein or not excluding your own protein. Best way to right script to extract those information if you have too many files.
