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 April 2020
The protein which inspired the image for April in our 2020 calendar is rhodopsin, the primary photoreceptor molecule in vision. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) containing a light-absorbing chromophore, retinal. On exposure to light, rhodopsin undergoes conformational changes, initiating a signal transduction cascade. Light is then converted into an electrical signal that is transmitted to the brain, interpreted as vision.
