hi,
I am building a Web page and I want to be able to 'silently' access structure files in the PDB - IOW, if a user enters a pdb id code and submits the form, the page will go get the relevant atomic coordinates from the PDB (and subsequently save the results as a DB record).
does anyone know if there exists a method for doing this already? I can see how to construct and call a specific 'Download/Display File' page from the PDB, and then I could strip the coordinates from that, but I doubt that is the best route.
any thoughts?
thanks,
tim
Hi Tim,
I am not sure that I understand clearly what you want to do...
Anyway, given a PDB id, you can get the relevant PDB file at the following address : http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/cgi/export.cgi/[PDBID]pdb.gz?format=PDB&pdbId=[PDBID]&compression=gz
and then uncompress it on your server.
If you are interested in it, I already wrote a php script for downloading this file and uncompress it on the server (in order to extract specific informations).
cheers, Paul
