RCSB.org</h3> <p>The Protein Data Bank (PDB) archives experimentally determined three dimensional (3D) structural data of biological macromolecules. In addition to providing access to 3D structural data, all members of the worldwide PDB (<a href="http://wwpdb.org/" target="_blank">wwPDB</a>) offer tools to query the archive, and then organize, visualize, and analyze groups of structures to learn about any topic of interest. The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank (RCSB PDB), website (RCSB.org) integrates information about properties and functions of proteins from a variety of publicly available bioinformatics data resources - e.g., information about gene sequences, mutations, disease correlations, small molecule (drug) binding affinities. Mapping information integrated from these resources to 3D structural data can provide insights beyond what is available from the molecular structures alone. Users can access the structural and integrated information from the RCSB.org website for new perspectives about the topic of interest and ask new questions.</p> <a class="content-anchor" id="expanding-the-limits-of-pdb"></a> <h3>Expanding the limits of PDB</h3> <p>Although the PDB archive continues to rapidly grow in size and complexity, there are many millions of proteins whose structures have not yet been solved. For the past few decades researchers have been developing a variety of approaches for reliably predicting <a href="https://pdb101.rcsb.org/learn/guide-to-understanding-pdb-data/computed-structure-models" target="_blank">computed structure models</a> of proteins. In 2020, two different projects [AlphaFold2 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2" target="_blank">Jumper, J. et al., 2021</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkab1061" target="_blank">Varadi M. et al., 2022</a>) and RoseTTAFold (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abj8754" target="_blank">Baek et al., 2021</a>)] used artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to successfully predict protein structures from their sequences. The approaches utilize knowledge of protein structures from the PDB, and vast amounts of protein sequencing data to compute these models. <br /><br />Access to reliable computed structure models (CSMs) has created new opportunities for molecular explorations and analysis. When experimental structures of the protein or complexes being studied are not available, CSMs can provide a great alternative and/or an initial model for data analysis, and hypothesis development. To make it easier for users to query, organize, visualize, analyze and compare experimental and predicted structures alongside each other, RCSB PDB has integrated CSMs from a few specific resources.</p> <a class="content-anchor" id="experimental-structures-and-csm-at-rcsborg"></a> <h3>Experimental Structures and CSM at RCSB.org</h3> <p>Access to both experimental structure and CSMs on a topic of interest offers users insights and choice. When exploring structure-function relationships, experimental structures of a protein or parts of it are likely to be more accurate and have a higher level of confidence compared to CSMs. Yet CSMs can provide great starting models for the millions of proteins and their complexes whose structures have not been experimentally determined. It should be noted that the quality of CSMs may not be uniform - parts of the CSM that are computed based on existing PDB structures and various other experimental data are likely to be more accurate and predicted with a higher level of confidence. Learn <a href="/docs/general-help/assessing-the-quality-of-3d-structures" target="_blank">more about the quality and confidence of experimental structures and CSMs</a>. As with experimental structures in the PDB, when using CSMs the accuracy and confidence of the 3D models should be considered in structure analysis and hypothesis development.</p> <a class="content-anchor" id="documentation"></a> <h2>Documentation</h2> <a class="content-anchor" id="what-csms-are-available"></a> <h3>What CSMs are available?</h3> <p>The computed structure models from the following providers are integrated with RCSB.org:</p> <ul style="list-style-type:disc;"> <li><a href="https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/" target="_blank">AlphaFold Protein Structure Database</a>. These models are state-of-the-art protein structure predictions based on amino-acid sequences, using an AI system called AlphaFold2 (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2" target="_blank">Jumper et al., 2021</a>, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkab1061" target="_blank">Varadi M. et al., 2022</a>).

AlphaFold DB identifiers are then followed by the UniProt accession number for the protein and by the fragment number (usually “F1”). However, in order to enable compatibility of the IDs with many of our services, including all of our APIs and visualization tools, we identify CSMs on RCSB.org using a modified version of the ID. This ID is used on the structure summary page, in searching for structures, in the search results page, and in various tools for 3D structure visualization and analysis. For example, for the AlphaFold structure AF-B3EWR1-F1, the RCSB.org assigned CSM ID is AF_AFB3EWR1F1 and is used in the query results page as shown in Figure 4. <br /><br />4. The default order of the search results is based on a relevancy score for the query criteria. The Refinements menu on the left of the query results page offers options to view only experimental structures or only CSMs in the search results (see Figure 5A). Learn <a href="/docs/search-and-browse/advanced-search/overview-advanced-search#the-results-page" target="_blank">more about the query results page and refinements</a>. The order of the search results may also be changed according to a few options - e.g., view CSMs in the results first or last; order the CSMs by pLDDT scores (see Figure 5B).</p> <div style="width:80%"><table><tr><td><a href="https://cdn.rcsb.org/rcsb-pdb/content/62d9b56b35ec5bb4ddb19a42/csm-5.png" data-toggle="lightbox" data-title="Figure 5: Options to refine search results.
