How to retrieve PDB files based on text search

Question

[kazenokizi]

Hello all,

I would like to retrieve to my local machine all the x-ray allergen PDB files from RCSB pdb website/ftp based on text search 'allergen' via command line in Ubuntu. Is there a systematic way to do this?

Cheers,

Andrew

If you have just one search term then search it on their website and then select download all files.

Dear Andrew,

There is a site like you need,

http://degradolab.org/suns/

but it requires a lot of preliminary work.

I would start with search for 'allergen' here as @pb suggested:

http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/home/home.do#Category-welcome

select pdb-id numbers you like and then go to the first site.
