About Structurepedia
Structurepedia is an open-access, curated hub for cryo-EM protein structures that lets researchers, students, and professionals search, browse, and interactively visualize 3D models and density maps sourced from the PDB and EMDB. With robust filters (protein name, UniProt/PDB IDs, resolution), built-in LiteMol/NGL viewers, validation reports (e.g., EMRRATOR, model-to-map FSC, MolProbity links), tutorials, community annotations, and API endpoints, Structurepedia streamlines discovery and interpretation of high-quality, regularly updated cryo-EM structures across categories like viruses, enzymes, and membrane proteins.
Pros
- Powerful search by protein name, UniProt ID, PDB ID, resolution, and keywords
- Browsable categories such as viruses, enzymes, ion channels, ribosomes, and membrane proteins
- Interactive 3D viewers (LiteMol or NGL) for models and electron density maps
- Model-to-map overlay with distance and angle measurements
- Aggregated data from PDB and EMDB with cryo-EM–specific filters (e.g., resolutions <4 Å)
- Highlighting of near-atomic and high-quality entries (e.g., <3 Å)
- Validation resources including EMRRATOR reports, FSC curves, and MolProbity links
- Weekly synchronization with new PDB/EMDB releases
- New Structures section spotlighting recent and high-impact entries
- Community annotations and user-contributed notes
- Educational tutorials, glossaries, and method guides for learners
- Mobile-responsive design with no login required for core features
