Three new features are now available from the primary PDB Web site and its mirror
sites:
After a period of testing on the PDB beta Web site, the Swiss-Pdb Viewer
is now linked from the View Structure section of the Structure Explorer page
for each PDB entry.
The Citation Tabular Reports, which can provide bibliographic information for
each structure in a search results set, now include links to search Medline
either by PDB ID or Medline ID.
A Perl script to download PDB files from any given update date is now available
from ftp://ftp.rcsb.org/pub/pdb/software/.
This script has three usages:
getPdbUpdate.pl dates -- retrieves and prints a list of valid update dates;
getPdbUpdate.pl latest -- retrieves all files from the latest update; and
getPdbUpdate.pl 20020603 -- retrieves all files from that particular update.
Questions or comments on these new features may be sent to
info@rcsb.org.
