Hi all,
As many of you know by now, the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe; http://pdbe.org) regularly produces Quips, short interactive stories about QUite Interesting Pdb Structures (http://pdbe.org/quips). Quips articles address biologically interesting aspects of one or more PDB entries from a structural perspective, using animated and interactive graphics views and usually a mini-tutorial or suggestions for further exploration using PDBe tools, services and resources.
Today a new interactive Quips story was released, exploring the structure of bacterial polymerase III and in particular the beta-clamp and its interaction with DNA. The accompanying mini-tutorial shows how you can explore a structure further and produce your own customised views using the OpenAstexViewer (which is used in Quips for 3D animations and graphics).
To access this Quips episode, point your browser at: http://pdbe.org/quips?story=BetaClamp
To go straight to the OpenAstexViewer tutorial, surf to: http://pdbe.org/quips?story=BetaClamp&auxpage=AVtut
There is also an RSS feed that informs you whenever there is a new Quips article available. For links to this and several other feeds, see http://pdbe.org/rss
If you have an interesting structure whose story you would like to tell (with our help) in the form of a Quips article, please contact us at pdbe@ebi.ac.uk
