PDBeSearch Search Structures

Search PDB structures through PDBe's Solr search interface by keyword, protein name, or gene name. Returns PDB IDs, titles, resolution, experimental methods, deposition dates, and organisms, sorted by resolution (best first). Complements RCSB PDB tools with powerful full-text search. Example: searching 'insulin' returns 400+ structures; 'BRCA1' returns 148 structures including BRCT domains.
