SGD Help: PDB Homolog Query


Contents



Description

The PDB Homolog Query page allows you to search for structural information on Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins. The search will retrieve the "PDB Homolog" page for that yeast protein, if it is available. The PDB Homolog page will list the yeast protein structure (if it has been solved) along with other proteins of known structure that have sequence similarity to the query protein. The PDB Homolog page also provides further links to structural and alignment information for these proteins. Structure infomation is retrieved from the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) and the sequence similarity analysis is performed by the Smith-Waterman algorithm.

Using the Homolog Query Page

There are four different Query Options, listed below. Ultimately, each option will retrieve a PDB Homolog page for a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein, if that information is available. The options vary in that some have intermediate "retrieved lists" where you can choose among yeast proteins that have PDB Homologs and also meet the specified parameters.

Accessing the PDB Homolog Query Page

The PDB Homolog Query Page can be accessed by selecting the PDB Homolog Query link from the SGD Search Page. Selecting the PBD Homologs link from any SGD locus page retrieves a list of PDB Homolog page for that gene, if it is available, along with links to structural and alignment information.
