Search Tips
Keyword Search
Search can be carried out using keywords such as
- macromolecular names (e.g., Exosome, p53)
- accession codes (e.g., PDBDEV_00000012, PDBDEV_00000014)
- experimental methods used (e.g., NMR, 3DEM, CX-MS)
- author names (e.g., Sali, Bonvin)
- software used (e.g., IMP, HADDOCK, ROSETTA)
Boolean Search
Boolean operators are supported.
- AND (e.g., Kim AND CX-MS)
- OR (e.g., IMP OR HADDOCK)
- NOT (e.g., ROSETTA NOT CX-MS)
Wild Card
Wild card symbol can be used to handle truncations.
- nup* can be used to search for all keywords that start with the phrase 'nup' (e.g., nup82, nup84, nup133).
- *trans* can be used to search for all keywords that contain the phrase 'trans' (e.g., methyltransferase, transcription).
- *some can be used to search for all keywords that end with the phrase 'some' (e.g., BBSome, exosome, nucleosome, proteasome).
Phrase Search
Search for exact phrases can be carried out using single quotes (e.g., 'Nucleotide excision repair complex').
Attribute Search
Search for specific attributes defined in PDBx/mmCIF and IHM dictionaries can be carried out as follows.
- entry.id:*28
- entry.id:PDBDEV_00000012
- ihm_cross_link_list.linker_type:CYS
