Macromolecular Modeling Blog ™

NCBI’s PubMed has recently added a useful feature for those working with protein structures. When featuring a specific abstract, besides the more familliar “Related articles” you can now find a “Structures reported by this article” pane, with a small illustration, PDB code and even the structure’s resolution.

Anyone who found himself scanning a paper for a desired PDB id, must feel a warm sensation in the chest towards this feature. Perfection is in the details, way to go pubmed.

Pubmed's Reported Structures Feature

I received an important email alert from NCBI today about a cutting edge, protein science publication by D. Baker. This publication along with the passage of prop 2 in California earlier this month are positive steps towards getting more chicks to become macromolecular modelers.
