Activation of ERBB kinases

ProtCID ProtCID is a database that provides information on protein interactions and complexes. It focuses on the analysis and visualization of protein interfaces and their interactions. The database contains data on protein structures, interfaces, and interactions derived from the Protein Data Bank (PDB).

Overview[edit | edit source]

ProtCID offers a comprehensive collection of protein complexes and their interactions, allowing researchers to explore and analyze protein-protein interactions at the structural level. The database provides detailed information on the interfaces between proteins, including the residues involved in the interaction and the structural features of the interface.

Features[edit | edit source]

ProtCID offers several features to facilitate the analysis of protein interactions and complexes. These include:

  • Visualization tools for exploring protein structures and interfaces
  • Search functionality to retrieve specific protein complexes and interactions
  • Analysis tools to identify key residues and structural motifs in protein interfaces
  • Integration with other bioinformatics resources for further analysis and interpretation

Applications[edit | edit source]

Researchers can use ProtCID to study protein interactions in various biological processes, such as signaling pathways, protein complexes, and molecular recognition. The database can help identify potential drug targets, understand the mechanisms of protein-protein interactions, and design novel therapeutic strategies.

Future Directions[edit | edit source]

ProtCID continues to evolve with updates and enhancements to provide researchers with valuable insights into protein interactions and complexes. Future developments may include improved visualization tools, expanded data coverage, and integration with additional bioinformatics resources.
