Message from the RCSB PDB

In March, many new features were added to the website, including improved ligand search options, pre-calculated pairwise structure alignments, enhancements to viewing query results and tabular reports, and much more.

New Features WidgetAn overview can be found in the New Features Widget box on the home page. This widget scrolls through a list of the new features, and links to descriptions of all recent major website additions.

All widgets with a dark blue bar on top can be moved around on the page by dragging the arrow buttons, hidden by selecting "Hide," or included in a customized view.

The button in the top right corner lets users select which widgets are displayed by default. To only see query-related options, the Molecule of the Month can be replaced with forms to download files and search by sequence.

Other widgets that can be displayed on the home page include the RCSB PDB Comparison Tool for running pairwise structural and sequence alignments, the ADIT Deposition Widget, and the Featured Molecule Widget which displays the RCSB PDB's Molecule of the Month and the Protein Structure Initiative's Featured Molecule.
