Iditis: protein structure database.
The validation, enrichment and organization of the data stored in PDB files is essential for those data to be used accurately and efficiently for modelling, experimental design and the determination of molecular interactions. The Iditis protein structure database has been designed to allow the widest possible range of queries to be performed across all available protein structures. The Iditis database is the most comprehensive protein structure resource currently available, and contains over 500 fields of information describing all publicly deposited protein structures. A custom-written database engine and graphical user interface provide a natural and simple environment for the construction of searches for complex sequence- and structure-based motifs. Extensions and specialized interfaces allow the data generated by the database to used in conjunction with a wide range of applications.
