DATA QUERY, REPORTING AND ACCESS

Exploring Structures Through PubMed Abstracts

PubMeda abstracts for the primary citations of PDB entries are integrated into the RCSB PDB website.

When reviewing query results of multiple structures at the RCSB PDB site, the Citations Tab provides a PubMed-like list of the corresponding primary citations. This list can be downloaded in Medline format for use with bibliographic programs such as Endnote and RefWorks by selecting the "Medline Format" option from the lefthand menu. The Citations Tab also links to all structures that share a primary citation, and to related articles in PubMed.

For each PDB structure, the "Abstract" link on a Structure Summary page provides information downloaded from PubMed about the citation. The keywords, title, and abstract on this page can be used to query the PDB for other entries that have the same words in their abstracts. The citation information can be downloaded in Medline format by selecting the "Medline Format" option from the lefthand menu. Selecting the PubMed icon takes users to the abstract in PubMed.

Using the Advanced Search, PubMed keyword searches can be combined with any other query option.
