PDB entry

A PDB (Protein Data Bank) entry is a detailed digital record that shows the three-dimensional structure of a molecule, typically proteins or other biological molecules. It provides precise information about the shape, size, and arrangement of atoms within the molecule, often obtained through techniques like X-ray crystallography or electron microscopy. Researchers use these entries to understand how molecules function, interact, and can be targeted for drug development. Essentially, a PDB entry is like a detailed 3D blueprint of a biological molecule, helping scientists visualize and study its structure at the atomic level.
