PDB-2-PB[1,2] is a curated online Protein Block (PB) sequence database. Here, we encoded and provide the PB sequences for all the protein structures available in PDB using de Brevern[3], encoding procedure. From our PDB-2-PB, users can extract the PB sequences along with their corresponding information as follows; (i) amino acid sequence, (ii) chain length, (iii) sequence start and end positions, (iv) resolution (only for X-ray solved entries), (v) experimental method used, and (vi) dihedral angles (), which we used to assign PB letters.

Description of PB. Details for PB letters a to p, are available here. For more details about PBs, click here

Statistics. Detailed statistics for all the versions of PDB-2-PB is available here.

A sample Input/Output PDB-2-PB record. To view a sample Input/Output record Extracting the PB sequence from PDB-2-PB database with the following three options - HELP Page.

Applications. Protein block sequences have many applications in protein structure analysis[4]. Our PB based protein fold recognition server PredictFold-PB[5] can also accessible here.
