[Bioperl-l] PDB Parser

[Bernd Mueller]

Hello,

Maybe you wanna try the Database-EUtilities module from bioperl. They 
are described on http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:EUtilities_Cookbook

I tried them for a similar search on pubmed but without any reasonable 
results because my target was too focused.

 From EUtilities documentation on 
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/bv.fcgi?rid=helpentrez.section.EntrezHelp.The_Databases

"Protein Database

The Protein database contains sequence data from the translated coding 
regions from DNA sequences in GenBank, EMBL, and DDBJ as well as protein 
sequences submitted to Protein Information Resource (PIR), SWISS-PROT, 
Protein Research Foundation (PRF), and Protein Data Bank (PDB) 
(sequences from solved structures). "

So PDB is included in eutilities from NCBI.

Regards,
Bernd
