Abstract

The PDB-Preview database is a dynamic web repository of in-silico predicted three-dimensional (3D) models of experimentally determined structures that are deposited into the PDB but are not yet publicly released, and are kept 'on-hold'. The PDB-Preview database is automatically generated on a weekly basis by the bioinfo.pl meta-server, which uses top-of-the-line fold-recognition methods. The PDB-Preview provides biologists with preliminary fold assignments well before the experimentally determined 3D structures are released.
