A large collection of PDB files of RNA/DNA binding proteins
and protein-RNA/DNA complexes,
downloaded from the Brookhaven Protein Data
Bank. This server (www-chem.umd.edu) supports the experimental mime type chemical/x-pdb.
If you change your browser options (on UNIX, a .mailcap file), you can bring
up a pdb viewer directly upon clicking on a PDB file link. Otherwise, you
will be asked to save the file and can then read it in to a viewer from outside
your browser. For example, my
.mailcap file is:
chemical/x-pdb ; rasmol %s
For Mac Netscape, set helper applications under "options".
For rasmol and other PDB viewers, see The NIH Guide to Molecular Modeling
