New WWW Interface to the Nucleic Acid Database (NDB)
---------------------------------------------------
The Nucleic Acid Database (NDB) Project assembles and distributes structural
information about nucleic acids. It is a repository for the coordinates of
nucleic acid-containing crystal structures and provides information of
interest to researchers in the field, including standard geometry files for
use in refinement and molecular modeling programs.
The NDB can be accessed on the World Wide Web at:
http://ndbserver.rutgers.edu/
and
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/NDB/
(NDB mirror site at the European Bioinformatics Institute)
A query interface that allows users to search the NDB is available at these
WWW sites. The latest version of this interface provides several new
options for using the database, including a full structure selection and
report generation interface, a simple structure selection form for making
quick selections, and a forms interface for creating status reports on the NDB
holdings. Tutorials for using this interface are also available at these
sites.
We are very interested in getting your feedback. If you have any questions
about the NDB or the new interface, or if you uncover a bug, please let us
know by sending mail to ndbadmin at ndbserver.rutgers.edu.
