This is a demonstration of a stand-alone replica version of the PDBe Search Database (MSDSD) in mySQL, together with tools and examples about how to use it. All the software together with the demo database is self-contained and wrapped up in a single CR-ROM disc that may be installed and used directly in any Windows or Linux machine. There are no other special pre-requisites apart from 1 GB of free disk space. 

This is a cut-down version of the MSDSD in the amount of data that it includes and this was imposed by the need to have a standalone mySQL database of a size that is practical for demonstration purposes (when compressed fits in a CD-ROM). So while the full width of MSDSD is included (100 tables - 1948 columns) instead of the 30695 PDB entries that MSDSD currently includes, this has data for

   - 1254 entries that are included in the SCOP list of representative entries for most tables except
   - 153 entries in the SCOP list with resolution between 1.1 and 1.4 on the residue level (tables RESIDUE, RESIDUE_DATA etc)
   - 49 entries in the SCOP list with resolution between 1.3 and 1.4 on the atom level (tables ATOM, ATOM_DATA etc)
