Reading and Visualizing PDB Files

<p>Visualizing the structure of biological molecules is crucial for multiple scientific fields, including biology, medicine, energy, drug discovery, and education. Understanding the 3D structure of molecules enables scientists to interpret the molecule&rsquo;s thermodynamics, kinetics, and geometric properties. This is useful to model protein structures and can be used in areas such as protein predictions for drug discovery or creating more efficient biocatalysts for industrial applications.</p> <p><a href="https://dash.plotly.com/dash-bio" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Dash Bio&nbsp;</a>offers a suite of ways to view molecular data using PDB files. PDB files can be obtained from the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rcsb.org/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Protein Data Bank&nbsp;</a>&mdash; a global repository for exploring and downloading molecular structural data. Each PDB file contains atomic coordinates, secondary structure, and atomic connectivity.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/plotly/reading-and-visualizing-pdb-files-bc94092d78bb"><strong>Website</strong></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
