Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) is a comprehensive resource for the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. The information in PDB is crucial for understanding the molecular basis of function in biological systems. It can be used by researchers studying the structural changes in proteins, such as those associated with prions (I), for classifying structural elements by their function (II), and for designing compounds that can bind to specific regions of a protein, which is essential in drug discovery and development (III).
