PDB quickstart
Download a PDB structure by ID or search it by name, review it in the 3D viewer, then chain it straight into DiffDock docking or P2Rank pocket prediction.
You want an experimentally determined structure for a target and then to put it to work — this walks the fastest path: download it from the PDB by ID (or search by name), review it in the 3D viewer, and chain it straight into docking or binding-site prediction.
PDB Quickstart
Review the Structure
The structure loads in an interactive 3D Mol* viewer on the canvas showing:
- Protein chains and residues
- Bound ligands (if present)
- Resolution and experimental method
- Chain identifiers
Chain into Docking
Send the structure to DiffDock:
The platform uses the downloaded PDB structure as the protein input and fetches the ligand SMILES automatically.
Identify Binding Sites
Alternatively, run P2Rank first:
This highlights predicted binding sites on the structure, helping you choose where to dock.
One request, whole pipeline
Describe the whole goal in one message and the orchestrator chains the tools for you:
See How the orchestrator picks tools for how the chain is built.
