Abstract

The PDB ProtVista is a reusable and customisable sequence feature viewer that provides intuitive and detailed 2D visualisation of residue-level annotations while supporting interactive communication with 3D viewers. The Protein Data Bank in Europe (PDBe) team develops and maintains PDB ProtVista. Several public web services use it to display structural and functional annotations such as macromolecular interaction interfaces, intrinsic disorder predictions, sequence variants, and sequence conservation. The PDB ProtVista is freely available from https://github.com/PDBeurope/protvista-pdb . We provide extensive documentation and step-by-step user guides on integrating PDB ProtVista with existing web applications and 3D molecular viewers. We also offer examples of displaying the user’s custom data and functional annotations for PDB and UniProt entries powered by a rich set of PDBe API endpoints.
