RCSB Protein Data Bank
The Protein Data Bank hosts over 200,000 experimentally determined macromolecular structures plus computed models from AlphaFold and ModelArchive. This skill provides programmatic access to search, download, and analyze structural data.
Applicable Scenarios
| Task | Examples |
|---|---|
| Structure Retrieval | Download coordinates for a known PDB ID |
| Similarity Search | Find structures similar by sequence or 3D fold |
| Metadata Access | Get resolution, method, organism, ligands |
| Dataset Building | Compile structures for ML training or analysis |
| Drug Discovery | Identify ligand-bound structures for a target |
| Quality Filtering | Select high-resolution, well-refined structures |
Setup

pymol
Control PyMOL molecular visualization through Claude Code. Use when asked to "visualize protein", "render structure", "show cartoon", "color by chain", "ray trace", "set up pymol", "install pymol", or work with molecular graphics. Handles setup, visualization commands, and publication-quality figure generation.
40uniprot-database
Query and retrieve protein sequences, annotations, and functional data from UniProt. Supports text search, ID mapping between databases, batch downloads, and access to Swiss-Prot (reviewed) and TrEMBL (predicted) entries.
29rdkit
Python cheminformatics library for molecular manipulation and analysis. Parse SMILES/SDF/MOL formats, compute descriptors (MW, LogP, TPSA), generate fingerprints (Morgan, MACCS), perform substructure queries with SMARTS, create 2D/3D geometries, calculate similarity, and run chemical reactions.
28biorxiv-database
Search and retrieve preprints from bioRxiv. Use when asked to "search bioRxiv", "find preprints", "look up bioRxiv papers", or retrieve life sciences literature.
28scikit-bio
Python bioinformatics library for sequence manipulation, alignments, phylogenetics, diversity metrics (Shannon, UniFrac), ordination (PCoA, CCA), statistical tests (PERMANOVA, Mantel), and biological file format I/O.
28biopython
Python toolkit for computational biology. Use when asked to "parse FASTA", "read GenBank", "query NCBI", "run BLAST", "analyze protein structure", "build phylogenetic tree", or work with biological sequences. Handles sequence I/O, database access, alignments, structure analysis, and phylogenetics.
