ChannelsDB Get Channels PDB
Get protein channel, tunnel, and pore data for a PDB structure from ChannelsDB. ChannelsDB is a comprehensive database of channels (tunnels, pores, and voids) found in biomacromolecular structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Returns channel geometry profiles (radius, distance along path, 3D coordinates), physicochemical properties (charge, hydrophobicity, polarity, mutability), residue layers lining each channel, and expert annotations when available.

Overview
Get protein channel, tunnel, and pore data for a PDB structure from ChannelsDB. ChannelsDB is a comprehensive database of channels (tunnels, pores, and voids) found in biomacromolecular structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank. Returns channel geometry profiles (radius, distance along path, 3D coordinates), physicochemical properties (charge, hydrophobicity, polarity, mutability), residue layers lining each channel, and expert annotations when available. Useful for studying transport pathways in membrane proteins, enzyme active site access tunnels, and ion channels. Example: get channels for aquaporin structure 1ymg or hemoglobin 4hhb.
