Hi all,
As many of you know by now, the Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe;
http://pdbe.org) regularly produces Quips, short interactive stories about
QUite Interesting Pdb Structures (http://pdbe.org/quips). Quips articles
address biologically interesting aspects of one or more PDB entries from a
structural perspective, using animated and interactive graphics views and
usually a mini-tutorial or suggestions for further exploration using PDBe
tools, services and resources.
Today a new interactive Quips story was released, exploring the structure of
bacterial polymerase III and in particular the beta-clamp and its interaction
with DNA. The accompanying mini-tutorial shows how you can explore a structure
further and produce your own customised views using the OpenAstexViewer (which
is used in Quips for 3D animations and graphics).
To access this Quips episode, point your browser at:
http://pdbe.org/quips?story=BetaClamp
To go straight to the OpenAstexViewer tutorial, surf to:

There is also an RSS feed that informs you whenever there is a new Quips
article available. For links to this and several other feeds, see
http://pdbe.org/rss
If you have an interesting structure whose story you would like to tell (with
our help) in the form of a Quips article, please contact us at pdbe at ebi.ac.uk
