I want the dimeric structure of a protein (forms dimer) in .pdb format. The crystal structure of the protein is solved. However, the .pdb file at RCSB PDB is of the monomeric structure.
Thanks in advance.
Some docking servers ( ClusPro, GrammX and others) provide the ability of homo-multimer docking, you can try it.
Look at the biological unit rather than at the asymmetric unit - the symmetry operation relating the two monomers may coincide with crystallographic symmetry.
The information about the biological unit is in remarks 350 of a pdb-file, including the transformation matrix.
Molecular Viewers can produce the other units for you. PyMol for example: generate symmetry mates (within a radius); and you can write the pdb file of the dimer from there.
Hi,
you can try the server MakeMultimer, it takes pdb in input and generates pdb of the multimer in output.
