Protein Data Bank in Europe
Bringing Structure to Biology
Our new PDBe-KB COVID-19 data portal brings together all available PDB data from SARS-CoV-2 structures, to help researchers easily identify important structural features to support the development of treatments and vaccines.
PDBe is the European resource for the collection, organisation and dissemination of data on biological macromolecular structures. Read more about PDBe.
Featured structure
01 October 2020
The protein which inspired the image for October in our 2020 calendar is a sodium-coupled leucine symporter, a prokaryotic homologue of mammalian sodium neurotransmitter symporters (NSS). The NSS proteins in mammals are responsible for clearing the synapse after a nerve signal, transporting neurotransmitters back into the axon and making it ready for another signal. The NSS proteins are common targets for anti-depressants.
