cDNA-PDB mapping

And it does not seem to be up to date, either.
Recently, I had the same problem. After two weeks, I abandoned the
experiment
for this problem was growing too large to fit into a two-month practical
course.

I think someone might have to write something new that finds the best
matches between
Swiss-Prot and Pdb. That would really improve a lot of studies.

I have written some classes that read and write PDB data in Java and
Python.

The code cares for the atomic coordinates most. Actually, organism and
molecule information 
is still ignored. 

You can find the latest version of both on:

or

(Unfortunately, its all in German, Sorry)

Let me know if You want to something with the code, I might give some
additional advice.
