Finding enzyme cofactors in Protein Data Bank

MOTIVATION: Cofactors are essential for many enzyme reactions. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains >67 000 entries containing enzyme structures, many with bound cofactor or cofactor-like molecules. This work aims to identify and categorize these small molecules in the PDB and make it easier to f...

Sumario:MOTIVATION: Cofactors are essential for many enzyme reactions. The Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains >67 000 entries containing enzyme structures, many with bound cofactor or cofactor-like molecules. This work aims to identify and categorize these small molecules in the PDB and make it easier to find them. RESULTS: The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; pdbe.org) has implemented a pipeline to identify enzyme cofactor and cofactor-like molecules, which are now part of the PDBe weekly release process. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Information is made available on the individual PDBe entry pages at pdbe.org and programmatically through the PDBe REST API (pdbe.org/api). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
