Download the mapping

Download the complete mapping from the PDB to UniProt entries:

Columns in the chain mapping are:

  • PDB code
  • PDB Chain label (@ = blank chain)
  • UniProt Accession

Columns in the residue mapping are:

  • PDB code
  • PDB Chain label (@ = blank chain)
  • PDB Sequential residue number (avoid using this!)
  • PDB Residue type (3-letter code)
  • PDB Residue number (as it appears in the PDB file)
  • UniProt Accession
  • UniProt Residue type (1-letter code)
  • UniProt Sequential residue number

Interrogate the mapping from your scripts

You may also access the mapping directly from your scripts. [Instructions]
