EMBL-EBI
Introduction
Many protein (and some nucleic acids) structures have
evolved as a framework for an active site – where
chemistry takes place.
The active site is critical for the understanding the action of
proteins and their role within the cell mechanism.
The function, of these macromolecules can best be
studied by detailed 3-dimensional knowledge of these
active sites.
Because the active site is a local 3D environment.
EMBL-EBI
Ligand environment
The 3D / 1D position that defines the protein
function
disparate amino acids on the 1D sequence
A localized volume in 3D
Where chemistry/binding happens.

MSD site database
The MSD site database contains local structural
information around all the bound ligands within the PDB
All proteins deposited to the PDB are checked for
ligand(s). These are HETATM & non-protein/non-nucleicacid/non-water residues.
Interactions are stored within the DB
The bound ligand coordinates & associated information
The ligand environment (i.e. any residue that interacts)
The interaction types between the ligand and environment.
All sequences are checked for the registered ProSite
patterns and matches are stored in the DB
Fast algorithm for a pattern search is embedded into the
DB

Site definitions
Sites are defined as a ligand environment when a
ligand is presented.
Sequence motifs matching is applied for site definition
independently from ligands.

Search service aims
Form a site search criteria
Provide a hit list
Visualize the found sites
XML technology (xpath,..) to search an XML
corresponding to a PDB entry from the hit
list.
