The PDBFINDER database: a summary of PDB, DSSP and HSSP information with added value

How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Natural protein sequences are more intrinsically disordered than random sequences (2016, background): “The secondary structures of these proteins were obtained from the PDBﬁnder database [39].”
The FoldX web server: an online force field (2005, methodology): “Finally, the backbone dihedral angles are given as well as the secondary structure assignment, this is done according to the dssp algorithm (22) that is based on the hydrogen bond pattern, extended with consideration of the dihedral angles.”
PDBselect 1992–2009 and PDBfilter-select (2009, methodology): “Chain data like resolution, R-factor, chain amino acid sequence are, for easier retrieval, accessed not from PDB-files directly but from the derived flat file PDBfinder(11).”
A series of PDB-related databanks for everyday needs (2014, methodology): “The PDBFINDER and PDBFINDER2 databanks (22) are now created using a slightly modified algorithm that better deals with exceptions in PDB files.”
Making optimal use of empirical energy functions: Force‐field parameterization in crystal space (2004, methodology): “Using the PDBFINDER database, 19 all X-ray structures without uncommon ligands and with unit cells smaller than 260,000 A˚ 3 and were selected.”
ASTRAL compendium enhancements (2002, background): “Future SPACI scores may incorporate updated programs and additional source data (15).”
