When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

Find protein/nucleic acid 3D structures by keywords, organism, experimental method, or resolution.
Identify related structures via sequence similarity (e.g., homolog search for modeling).
Identify related structures via 3D structure similarity (e.g., fold-level comparisons).
Download coordinates (PDB/mmCIF) for downstream analysis, visualization, docking, or modeling.
Run batch retrieval of metadata/coordinates to feed pipelines in drug discovery, protein engineering, or structural bioinformatics.

Key Features

Text and attribute-based search over RCSB PDB entries.
Sequence similarity search with configurable thresholds (e-value, identity).
Structure similarity search using an existing entry as a query.
Programmatic metadata retrieval via the RCSB Data API (schema-based or GraphQL).
Direct coordinate downloads in PDB and mmCIF formats.
Batch processing patterns for multiple PDB IDs.
